The legal team of former U.S. President Donald Trump has agreed to receive the subpoena from the congressional committee investigating what surrounded the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, with which they seek the tycoon to respond under oath to questions about his possible responsibility.
This subpoena requires Trump to testify either at the Capitol, in Washington, or via videoconference on November 14, as well as the delivery of the documentation that this House of Representatives committee may demand.
According to a source familiar with the matter to which the newspaper ‘Politico’ has had access, Matthew Sarelson, a lawyer at the law firm The Dhillon Law Group representing Trump agreed earlier this week to officially receive the notification of the commission, which unanimously agreed this month to summon the tycoon to know what degree of involvement he had in those riots.
Before the appointment to which Trump should go on November 14, his legal team has until November 4 of that same month to deliver the documentation required by the commission, including that with the communications he may have maintained with extremist groups that had a prominent role in the riots and with those who in the last year have been called to testify.
Despite having agreed to officially receive the subpoena, it is not yet clear that Trump will agree to sit in front of the commission, which he has attacked on several occasions for allegedly conducting a witch hunt against him.
