Former President Trump is subpoenaed by lawmakers to appear before the House select committee investigating the US Capitol attack
The unanimous vote marks a significant escalation by the panel that will set up a showdown with the former President. It is not expected that Trump will comply with the subpoena, but the action serves as a way for the committee to set down a marker and show that it wants information directly from Trump as the panel investigates the attack.
Republicans have pledged to shut down the Democratic-run panel if they retake the House majority in the midterm election next month. Trump has previously derided the panel as an “Unselect Committee of Political Thugs and Hacks” and said its members are “evil, sinister and unpatriotic.” He has also complained that the committee’s “partisan kangaroo court” proceedings have “allowed no due process, no cross-examination and no real Republican members of witnesses to be present or interviewed.

Bush and Democrat Bill Clinton - of taking millions of documents and storing them in unsecure locations including a Chinese restaurant, a bowling alley and a car dealership.
