The House panel investigating the Jan. 6 attack closed its hearing on Thursday by taking a vote on whether to subpoena former President Donald Trump to testify before them.
The vote passed unanimously, with all nine members — including both Republicans — in favor.
Vice Chairwoman Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., read out the motion, describing Trump's testimony as an obligation — given that more than 30 witnesses in the investigation invoked the Fifth Amendment in answer to the committee's questions about Trump.
"We are obligated to seek answers directly from the man who set this all in motion," she said. "And every American is entitled to those answers, so we can act now to protect our republic."
This is a developing story and will be updated.

Liz Cheney and fellow Replicans somehow get their payback. This could influence the climate of things to come! What do you think?

I go back to the Mueller investigation when Donald bragged about his willingness to testify and then backed out on the advise of by lawyers that he will repeatedly perjure himself. So they gave him a "takehome" survey of 20 items.
On the first 10 he provides very vague info; and on the final ten, he refused and provided zero data!
