The House Jan. 6 committee said it was evaluating all of its options after former Pres. Trump sued to block a subpoena from the panel for documents and testimony.
Rep. Bennie Thompson, Chair of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol, stands to depart during a break in a hearing at the Cannon House Office Building in Washington, Oct. 13, 2022.from the panel for documents and testimony.
They said that Trump's "attorneys have made no attempt to negotiate an appearance of any sort, and his lawsuit parades out many of the same arguments that courts have rejected repeatedly over the last year. The truth is that Donald Trump, like several of his closest allies, is hiding from the Select Committee's investigation and refusing to do what more than a thousand other witnesses have done."Trump's attorneys have described a different situation.
Thompson told reporters Monday night that Trump's lawsuit "kinda puts everything on hold right now" and said the committee will "take a position at some point." Committee member Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., told ABC News that "our three general avenues for potential response are referral for criminal contempt, an effort to get a court to compel participation through a civil contempt proceeding and then exercising inherent powers of contempt of Congress, which we haven't done yet."
