The House Jan. 6 Committee on Oct. 13 voted to subpoena former President Donald Trump over his role in the events of Jan. 6.

The resolution, submitted by Ranking Member Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), was passed by the committee unanimously in a 9–0 vote.

“Our duty today is to our country, our duty, and our Constitution,” Cheney said. “We can act now to protect our republic. So this afternoon, I am requesting that the chairman issue a subpoena for documents and testimony from Donald Trump about the January 6 attack on the Capitol.”

The panel “wants to hear from him,” Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) said ahead of the vote.

After presenting the motion, all nine members of the committee voted to take the almost unprecedented step of subpoenaing a former president.
