In the past, the former president has refused to voluntarily cooperate with the hearings

On Thursday, the U.S. House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol—unanimously voted to subpoena former President Donald Trump.

The committee is made up of seven Democrats and two anti-Trump Republicans and has been investigation for 16-months.

All members voted to compel the former president to testify about his conduct leading up to and during the attack.

Previously, Trump has refused to voluntarily cooperate with the panel, calling it a partisan witch hunt.

Thursday’s vote came during the committee’s 10th and likely final public hearing before the all-important November midterm elections.

New video of lawmakers inside their safe rooms the day of the tack were also released including when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke with then Vice-President Mike Pence about returning to the Capitol following the riots to certify the election.

Additionally, members claimed that they had gathered sufficient evidence showing that the former president was the lead instigator of the attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Trump could fight the current subpoena.

In that case, a long legal battle would likely begin with just over two months left in the current Congress.
