Trump has until Friday to furnish information that will shed light on his alleged participation in supporting the January 06 Capitol Hills riot.

Trump’s lawyers actually accepted the subpoena last October 26, which requested the former president to testify and submit documents to the House January 6 Committee.

His outbursts and speeches subsequently led to h rousing of followers who came to support the “Big Lie” about the stolen presidential election. .
