Trump appeals to court to block subpoena
Former U.S. President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit on Friday challenging the subpoena issued by the House of Representatives committee investigating the January 6, 2021 storming of the Capitol.
To support his approach, Donald Trump claims to benefit from "absolute immunity" and that he will not testify next week.
Mr Trump's lawyers have described the subpoena as "invalid, illegal and unenforceable". They believe the former head of state still enjoys executive privilege nearly 22 months after leaving office and cannot be compelled to appear by Congress.
The Jan. 6 commission ordered him to appear for an in-person deposition by Monday, which includes providing a long list of documents and communications related to the assault on the Capitol.
The stakes are high — and time is running out — both for the congressional committee and for Donald Trump, 76, who is expected to announce Tuesday that he will run for president in 2024.
He does so even though the Republican Party is not sure of regaining control of the Lower House after the midterm elections.
Tuesday's poll shows Republicans hold 200 of the 218 seats needed to reclaim a majority, ahead of Democrats. But around 20 seats in the House of Representatives – which has a total of 435 members – have still not been decided and the vote count is underway.
If Republicans take control of the House, they are likely to disband the Jan. 6 commission, which has amassed evidence it says Trump instigated his supporters to lead the assault in an attempt to deprive Joe Biden of his position. his victory in the presidential election.
Prosecutors have charged more than 900 people with crimes related to the Capitol storming, and the Justice Department said last month that 412 of them had pleaded guilty to one of various federal charges.
At least seven people lost their lives in the January 6 assault.
During his trial in federal court in West Palm Beach, Florida, Mr. Trump argued that US presidents, past and present, had voluntarily agreed to testify or turn over documents after receiving a subpoena from the Congress, but none “has ever been compelled to do so”.
In this case, Mr. Trump argues that the subpoena is broader than reasonably necessary, infringes executive privilege and personal rights, and that the commission has no authority in the matter.https://www.ipressusa.com/cbd/essential-cbd-extract-gummies-male-enhancement-system-review/
