House Impeachment Managers Ask Trump To Testify

Impeachment manager Rep. Jamie Raskin writes to Trump:

In light of your disputing these factual allegations, I write to invite you to provide testimony under oath, either before or during the Senate impeachment trial, concerning your conduct on January 6, 2021. We would propose that you provide your testimony (of course including cross-examination) as early as Monday, February 8, 2021, and not later than Thursday, February 11, 2021. We would be pleased to arrange such testimony at a mutually convenient time and place.

Rep. Jamie Raskin has sent a letter to former President Trump requesting he testify under oath “either before or during the Senate impeachment trial about his conduct on January 6.”

House Mgr Raskin sets a 5p Friday deadline for Trump to respond to invite to testify: “Whereas a sitting President might raise concerns abt distraction from their official duties, that concern is obviously inapplicable here. We therefore anticipate your availability to testify.”
