“Total BUST,” Trump Responds to Jan 6 Committee Subpoena

Following the Jan 6 Committee’s decision to subpoena him on Thursday, President Donald Trump hit back with a blistering statement.

President Trump released a 14-page statement on Friday which denounced the House Committee as “highly partisan political Hacks and Thugs.”

He began the statement by again saying that the 2020 Presidential election was ‘rigged and stolen.’

Trump called the J6 Committee as a “total ‘BUST.'”

He also questioned why they waited until now to ask him to testify.

“Why didn’t the Unselect Committee ask me to testify months ago?” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“Why did they wait until the very end, the final moments of their last meeting? Because the Committee is a total ‘BUST’ that has only served to further divide our Country which, by the way, is doing very badly — A laughing stock all over the World?”

While he did not say one way or another if he would comply, Trump will likely fight the committee’s decision.

In a 14-page statement issued Friday, the former president denounced the panel as being made up of “highly partisan political Hacks and Thugs” and criticized Congress for funding the investigation into the Capitol riot despite being what he calls a “Charade and Witch Hunt.” The statement also comes after the Jan. 6 committee voted unanimously to subpoena Trump to offer testimony to the panel as part of its investigation.

“The double standard of the Unselects between what has taken place on the ‘RIGHT,’ and what has taken place with Radical Left, lawless groups such as Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and others, is startling and will never be acceptable, even to those who will be writing the history of what you have done to America,” Trump said in a statement.
