Trump subpoenaed before Jan. 6 committee

Published

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.

Sussan Ley’s leadership faces scrutiny as the Liberal party debates a net-zero emissions target.
Conservative members argue she should abandon the goal to maintain her position, while moderates hope for a compromise that aligns with the Paris Agreement.Banner

Leadership contenders like Angus Taylor and Andrew Hastie support staying committed to the Paris Agreement, rejecting a net-zero commitment. Taylor indicated future leadership aspirations are not confirmed.

Pro-net-zero frontbencher Tim Wilson seeks decisive leadership to address the issue. Ley’s lack of internal guidance frustrates moderates, creating uncertainty regarding her stance on net-zero. While some conservatives advocate for its dismissal, others display mixed support.

Liberal party dynamics shift as polling reveals significant opposition to net-zero among constituents. The upcoming party room meeting and shadow ministers gathering will aim to finalise the Coalition’s position.

Internal Divisions

Moderate MPs warn that elections will be lost if net-zero is abandoned, emphasising its importance in urban areas.

A poll indicates strong support for a 2050 net-zero target among voters. Critics of the Nationals’ policy argue it is misguided and incompatible with national interests.

Calls for resignation from frontbench positions are met with opposition. Some representatives voiced frustration over the timing of the meeting, suggesting it should have been resolved earlier.
