The House January 6 select committee subpoenaing former President Donald Trump for testimony and information is not "something that we should consider far-fetched," Representative Stacey Plaskett, a Democrat, said Saturday.
The White House on Wednesday formally rejected Trump's attempt to assert executive privilege to stop congressional lawmakers from obtaining documents requested by the select committee and laid down a strict timeline for their release.
Representative Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat and chairman of the House select committee probing the Capitol riot, on Thursday declined to rule out issuing a subpoena for Trump. "I would say this at this point, Wolf, nobody is off-limits to a subpoena from this committee," he said on CNN's The Situation Room.
Asked on MSNBC Saturday about the likelihood of a Trump subpoena, Plaskett, a former House impeachment manager, said: "Bennie Thompson has made it very clear that he is going to take this select committee and its members, who are in full agreement with him, wherever the facts may lead them."
