In mid-October, the bipartisan panel issued the subpoena, which also requires Trump to testify before Congress by November 14.
The legislative committee, which has been investigating the events of January 6 for more than a year, voted to subpoena Trump after holding its ninth public hearing.
During the session, lawmakers presented evidence, including testimony and emails, to show that the former president deliberately rejected the results of the November 4, 2020 election, where he was defeated by Democrat Joe Biden.
