Live updates: House impeachment manager asks Trump to testify at his Senate trial, a request he may decline

1:28 p.m.
Impeachment managers call Trump to testify for his trial
By Karoun Demirjian

Lead House impeachment manager Rep. Jamie B. Raskin (D-Md.) officially requested that former president Donald Trump testify under oath about his involvement in the events that led to the Capitol riot Jan. 6.

The letter, which Raskin sent to Trump’s lawyers Thursday, comes two days after the president’s legal team filed papers with the Senate disputing many of the factual allegations in the House managers’ case. It invites Trump to testify either before or during his actual impeachment trial, which is set to begin in the Senate on Tuesday — with the recommendation he do so between Monday and Thursday, Feb. 11.

"If you decline this invitation, we reserve any and all rights, including the right to establish at trial that your refusal to testify supports a strong adverse inference regarding your actions (and inaction) on January 6, 2021,” Raskin warned in his letter, asking for a response by Friday at 5 p.m.

The House managers do not have independent authority to subpoena Trump if he denies the request.

In the letter, Raskin pointed out that Presidents Gerald Ford and Bill Clinton had both testified to Congress while in office, “so there is no doubt that you can testify in these proceedings.” Raskin also pointed out that since Trump is no longer in office, and since the Supreme Court has already ruled that the president is not immune to legal proceedings for decisions he made during his tenure in office, he has no excuse to decline.

“We therefore anticipate your availability to testify,” Raskin wrote.

Representatives for Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Tiny is stupid enough to believe he is smart enough to out-smart all the lawyers in congress.
He should testify. Of course, the testimony will be unintelligible, but that would be what is expected.

Of course she left out the death threats to the Speaker and confrontations with other House members but this sounds good, which is of course the intent of the statement. We know that if Ilhan OImar, Rashida Tlaib or, AOC had made the threats and engaged in the behavior this woman has McCarthy would've had them thrown off of committees already.

Like all New Yorker articles the one referenced is long. It is worth a read though.

Andy Sheehan @AndySheehankdka
Government wants her detained but attorney for Rachel Powell tells @KDKA he'll ask or her release pending trial.
“She’s certainly not going anywhere, and as a person who has never been in trouble with the law before, she’s certainly not a danger to her community. “

“Ms. Powell is certainly not a risk of flight given her strong family ties to the community, the fact that she has young children which she home schools. She is not an individual of means that would even allow her to flee,” her attorney, Michael Engle, tells @KDKA
We did it! We did it Joe! @RTrump36 Replying to @AndySheehankdka and @KDKA
I assume her having been on the run for a month will negate her request for pretrial release. She's obviously a flight risk.

Rep. Demmings also put the folks clamoring for the Pledge to open every committee meeting in their place.
