CNN — The House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, insurrection is “in discussions” with former President Donald Trump’s attorneys about testifying under oath in the probe, Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the vice chairwoman of the panel, said Tuesday.

Trump faces a Friday deadline to respond to the committee’s subpoena for documents, and a November 14 deadline for testimony. Cheney said during an event about the threat of political violence in Cleveland, Ohio, that the former President “has an obligation to comply,” but the panel has not yet made determinations about the format of his potential testimony.

“It’ll be done under oath. It’ll be done, potentially, over multiple days,” Cheney said, adding that this is not a situation where the committee finds itself at the “mercy of Donald Trump.”

CNN previously reported that Trump’s lawyers had accepted service of the committee’s subpoena but Cheney’s comments are the first indication that discussion between the two sides have begun. CNN is reaching out to Trump’s legal team on Cheney’s comments Tuesday.

[blm]

1. In discussions means Trump is dragging it out,

knowing there is such a thing as ‘too late to matter’, as usual.

[Zorro]

2. "Fifth. Fifth. Fifth. Fifth. Fifth. Fifth. Fifth..."

[ffr]

6. About right.

[Thomas Hurt]

3. WTF for, unless you have been living under a rock you know he is stalling...

he doesn't deserve any further consideration or deference. Set a date already.

[Evolve Dammit]

4. molly-coddling a crime boss. Yeah, that'll work....

[Chainfire]

5. The discussions and negotiations should be very simple;

Be there, or we will send the Federal marshals to bring you in. That is how they would negotiate with me....

[Marthe48]

7. So sick of this

They aren't special. They are American citizens under the rule of law.
I hate to say it, but it looks like Brazil has a much more graceful loser than traitor will ever be. And Brazil will be another country edging out the U.S. in dignity and commitment to democracy.

It is deeply shameful that people like the fake despotic justices are so Gd willing to destroy our country that they support a completely total p.o.s. traitor and have passed on personal decency, personal accountability, personal responsibility.

Like Rachel said last night. There is democracy, or there are people breaking your kneecaps or trying to murder your loved ones. There is nothing else. And I'll tell you what. These f**n p.o.s that are so hot to tear down democracy are going to be in a world of hurt when they get their wish. They will be as much of a target as any other human on the planet. They are loosing the killer dogs, and there will be no mercy for the wealthy, no pity for the poor. Just anarachy.

8. Prediction: they will negotiate. At long last, they will agree to something. Tfg will violate it.

[louis-t]

9. What's to negotiate? Drag his fat ass into court

and get him to perjure hims---I mean, testify.

[FakeNoose]

10. Bob Woodward has all the recordings, just play those tapes and call it a day

Let's get this thing done!

[BlueIdaho]

11. Do you suppose that if the committee

Subpoenaed Woodward he would turn over all of Donny’s ramblings on tape? That could be might entertaining… I doubt it would be considered evidentiary but it would be really entertaining.

[bluestarone]

12. I'm sure the Committee will,but

EVERY TIME TFG perjures himself NAIL the FUCKER!!! EVERY TIME!

[SoCalDavidS]

13. He's Not Going To Testify

He's not going to be indicted either.
