Without saying if he intended to comply with the subpoena, the ex-president Trump wondered why the elected officials had not summoned him months ago
. Why did they wait until the very end, until the last moments of their last meeting? Because the commission is a total FIASCO that has only served to further divide our country
he wrote on his Truth Social network.
The mission of the committee, made up of seven Democrats and two Republicans, is to shed light on the behavior of the president before, during and after the attack on Capitol Hill, which shocked the whole world.
On that day, January 6, 2021, supporters of Donald Trump stormed the seat of Congress to try to prevent elected officials from certifying the victory of his Democratic rival, Joe Biden. The billionaire continues to maintain against all evidence that the ballot was given to him Fly

A victory predicted “well in advance”, despite the vote
Thursday, before his shock announcement, the committee had unrolled the thread of events as drawn by its investigations, showing that the ex-president had planned well in advance
to declare victory in the 2020 election, even before the results are known.
His intention was clear, ignore the rule of law and stay in power
said Republican Adam Kinzinger.
The elected democrat Zoe Lofgren evoked a premeditated plan by the president to declare victory, regardless of the true outcome
. His victory speech was planned well in advance, before the votes were counted
she added.
In support of their statements, the elected officials projected several videos of the ex-president, some of his relatives or former employees of the White House.
In images shot just before the 2020 presidential election by a Danish team for a documentary, we can hear Roger Stone, a longtime ally of the former Republican president, say that he doesn’t care about the vote.
Fuck the vote, let’s go straight to violence
he says.

Mr Stone, who has not been charged in connection with January 6, disputed the authenticity of the videos, saying they had been manipulated.
The committee also replayed a recording of a call from Donald Trump to Brad Raffensperger, Georgia’s secretary of state, in which the former president says he need
of some 11,000 ballots in his name – enough to beat his rival Joe Biden in this southern state.
The committee also disclosed material from hundreds of thousands of pages provided by the Secret Service, the elite police in charge of the close protection of the high personalities of the State. The elected officials want to understand why certain text messages from agents, sent the day of the assault, were deleted.
The documents confirm evidence presented at previous hearings that Mr. Trump inflamed the crowd of his supporters despite being told of the potential for violence, lawmaker Adam Schiff said.
Expected report
Since its creation, the committee has questioned more than a thousand witnesses, including two children of Donald Trump, and peeled tens of thousands of documents.
The investigative report is due to be made public by the end of the year, but likely not before the November 8 parliamentary elections that will determine which party controls Congress for the remainder of President Biden’s term.
Members of the panel have openly suggested that Justice Secretary Merrick Garland should indict Donald Trump in connection with the attack on the Capitol. The committee itself has not officially said whether it will recommend any referrals to justice.
