The investigative committee into the events of the invasion of the Capitol voted a short time ago in favor of subpoenaing Donald Trump to testify before it.
According to reports in the US, the testimony of the former president is one of the last links in the investigation, although it is not clear whether Trump will sign up. The former president is dismissive of the committee investigating the attack, which was supposed to disrupt the transfer of power to President Joe Biden. On the other hand, his daughter Ivanka and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, testified before the committee.
The chairman of the committee, Democratic lawmaker Benny Thompson, hinted that the vote on subpoenaing Trump would take place later today (at night, Israel time).

Earlier, the investigative committee discovered that Trump caused panic among the military leaders because he gave a secret order to withdraw all American forces from Afghanistan and Somalia a few days after his defeat in the presidential elections.
The committee showed the testimony of General Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who said that, although he told Trump that the withdrawal could be dangerous, the president dismissed the problem by leaving the problem to "the next guy," meaning his replacement. Although Trump's order was not implemented, the goal of the former president The withdrawal was to be completed before Biden's inauguration.
The withdrawal of forces is among the latest details revealed by the January 6 Committee, which seeks to prove that Trump is personally responsible for the violence and chaos on Capitol Hill, as well as the erosion of democratic institutions.
