President Donald Trump has responded after the Democrats’ Jan. 6 Committee officially issued a subpoena for him to testify before Congress.
Trump has reportedly said that he will accept the subpoena and is happy to testify, provided he can do it on live TV.
According to reports, Trump will agree to testify but doesn’t want the Democrats and their allies in the media to selectively edit his video testimony to make him look bad.
NYT correspondent Michael Schmidt said: “Since it became public that the House select committee planned to subpoena Trump for his testimony, the former president has been telling aides he favors doing so, so long as he gets to do so live, according to a person familiar with his discussions.”
New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, who has long-term cooperation with Trump, told CNN’s Jake Tapper:
“In terms of the subpoena, for him, that is actually one of the things that has animated him.
“He’s been talking to advisers about how, you know, he would consider testifying if they would air it live, which is also not surprising…it seems hard to imagine the committee would go for that.”

They’ll never let that happen.
If they turn it down they will look like the fools that they are......................
Yeah, Trump kind of has them by the nads.
I like the way he calls their bluff. Not sure if this is smart but Trump can go toe to toe with anyone.
Wow...that reminds me of my favorite Twilight Zone Episode, “The Obsolete man”. Have you ever seen it?
They really hoped it wouldn’t come to this, they hoped the testimony alone would have sank Trump by now, but he just gets stronger. So now, this is all they’ve got left.
Yes, Just a few weeks ago!......................
If the Truth is on Trump’s side, he will win this. Bigly!
“He’s been talking to advisers about how, you know, he would consider testifying if they would air it live, which is also not surprising…it seems hard to imagine the committee would go for that.”
BUSTED! January 6th Unselect Committee seen holding their ears and singing (in 4 part harmony, with Widdle Adam Schiff on the Descant) LALALALALALALA! 😝
Imagine he is the exact target of their investigation they claim that he is evil from beginning to end but it’s so unlikely they would allow him to be cross examined by them live on television for the country to see.
What a bunch of totally fraudulent pigs.
reportedly said = BS.
Who was that guy who received ample time to testify live, just before he drank the hemlock?
Hardly, if he trusts them he is crazy.
I wonder if Liz feel like she’s been grabbed by the pussy?
The Democrats will object that he’s trying to turn their three-ring circus into a four-ring circus.
F&@# ‘em in the ear, Mr. President!
Epstein?.......................
That’s more than fair.
