'Twitter Files' Expose Michelle Obama's Personal Involvement in Trump's Ban, But That's Just the Beginning By Jack Davis December 11, 2022
The latest installment of the “Twitter Files” notes the extent to which public pressure as well as private machinations contributed to Twitter’s decision to ban former President Donald Trump in January 2021.Former First Lady Michelle Obama posted an irate tweet on Jan. 7, 2021, one day after the Capitol incursion.
“Now is the time for Silicon Valley companies to stop enabling this monstrous behavior — and go even further than they have already by permanently banning this man from their platforms and putting in place policies to prevent their technologies from being used by the nation’s leaders to fuel insurrection,” she wrote in part of her statement.
I copied and pasted this from my cousin Bill .It’s just plain maddening!!
Who died before they collected Social Security?KEEP PASSING THIS AROUND UNTIL
EVERYONE HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ IT.
THIS IS SURE SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT!
THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH THE
GOVERNMENT'S CALCULATION OF AVAILABLE SOCIAL SECURITY IS THEY FORGOT TO FIGURE IN THE PEOPLE WHO DIED BEFORE THEY EVER COLLECTED A SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK!
EVERYONE HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ IT.
THIS IS SURE SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT!
THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH THE
GOVERNMENT'S CALCULATION OF AVAILABLE SOCIAL SECURITY IS THEY FORGOT TO FIGURE IN THE PEOPLE WHO DIED BEFORE THEY EVER COLLECTED A SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK!
WHERE DID THAT MONEY GO? They also forgot what they "BORROWED"
Remember, not only did you and I contribute to Social Security but your employer did too.
It totaled 15% of your income before taxes.
If you averaged only $30K over your working life, that's close to $220,500.
Read that again.
Did you see where the Government paid in one single penny?
We are talking about the money you and your employer put in a government bank to insure you and I, that we would have a retirement check from the money we put in, not the Government.
Now they are calling the money we put in an entitlement when we reach the age to take it back.
If you calculate the future invested value of $4,500 per year (yours & your employer's contribution) at a simple 5% interest (less than what the Government pays on the money that it borrows).
After 49 years of working you'd have $892,919.98. If you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last better than 30 years (until you're 95 if you retire at age 65) and that's with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit!
If you bought an annuity and it paid 4% per year, you'd have a lifetime income of $2,976.40 per month.
THE FOLKS IN WASHINGTON HAVE PULLED OFF A BIGGER PONZI SCHEME THAN BERNIE MADOFF EVER DID.
Entitlement my foot; I paid cash for my social security insurance!
Just because they borrowed the money for other government spending, doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout!!
Remember Congressional benefits?
--- free healthcare, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days.
Now that's welfare, and they have the nerve to call my social security retirement payments entitlements?
They call Social Security and Medicare an entitlement even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives, and now, when it's time for us to collect, the government is running out of money.
Why did the government borrow from it in the first place?
It was supposed to be in a locked box, not part of the general fund.
Sad isn't it?

American Suicide..................Very sobering
Wherever you stand, please take the time to read this; it ought to scare the CRAP out of you!
We know Dick Lamm as the former Governor of Colorado. In that context his
thoughts are particularly poignant. Last week there was an immigration
overpopulation conference in Washington , DC , filled to capacity by many of
America 's finest minds and leaders. A brilliant college professor by the
name of Victor Hansen Davis talked about his latest book, "Mexifornia,"
explaining how immigration - both legal and illegal was destroying the
entire state of California . He said it would march across the country until
it destroyed all vestiges of The American Dream.
Moments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm stood up and gave a
stunning speech on how to destroy America . The audience sat spellbound as he
described eight methods for the destruction of the United States . He said,
"If you believe that America is too smug, too self-satisfied, too rich, then
let's destroy America . It is not that hard to do. No nation in history has
survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great
civilizations rise and fall and that 'An autopsy of history would show that
all great nations commit suicide.'"
"Here is how they do it," Lamm said:
"First, to destroy America , turn America into a bilingual or multi-lingual
and bicultural country. History shows that no nation can survive the
tension, conflict, and antagonism of two or more competing languages and
cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is
a curse for a society to be bilingual. The historical scholar, Seymour
Lipset, put it this way: 'The histories of bilingual and bicultural
societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension, and
tragedy.' Canada , Belgium , Malaysia , and Lebanon all face crises of national
existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence.
Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion.
France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons, and Corsicans."
Lamm went on:
"Second, to destroy America , invent 'multiculturalism' and encourage
immigrants to maintain their culture. Make it an article of belief that all
cultures are equal; that there are no cultural differences. Make it an
article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due solely to
prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out
of bounds."
"Third, we could make the United States an 'Hispanic Quebec' without much
effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As Benjamin
Schwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly recently: 'The apparent success of our
own multi-ethnic and multicultural experiment might have been achieved not
by tolerance but by hegemony. Without the dominance that once dictated
ethnocentricity and what it meant to be an American, we are left with only
tolerance and pluralism to hold us together.' Lamm said, "I would encourage
all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would replace the
melting pot metaphor with the salad bowl metaphor. It is important to ensure
that we have various cultural subgroups living in America enforcing their
differences rather than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities."
"Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic group the least
educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated, undereducated, and
antagonistic to our population. I would have this second underclass have a
50% dropout rate from high school."
"My fifth point for destroying America would be to get big foundations and
business to give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in ethnic
identity, and I would establish the cult of 'Victimology.' I would get all
minorities to think that their lack of success was the fault of the
majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on
the majority population."
"My sixth plan for America 's downfall would include dual citizenship, and
promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate diversity over unity. I would
stress differences rather than similarities. Diverse people worldwide are
mostly engaged in hating each other - that is, when they are not killing
each other. A diverse, peaceful, or stable society is against most
historical precedent. People undervalue the unity it takes to keep a nation
together. Look at the ancient Greeks. The Greeks believed that they belonged
to the same race; they possessed a common language and literature; and they
worshipped the same gods. All Greece took part in the Olympic games. A
common enemy, Persia , threatened their liberty. Yet all these bonds were not
strong enough to overcome two factors: local patriotism and geographical
conditions that nurtured political divisions. Greece fell. "E. Pluribus
Unum" -- From many, one. In that historical reality, if we put the emphasis
on the 'pluribus' instead of the 'Unum,' we will balkanize America as surely
as Kosovo."
"Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits. Make it taboo to talk
about anything against the cult of 'diversity.' I would find a word similar
to 'heretic' in the 16th century - that stopped discussion and paralyzed
thinking. Words like 'racist' or 'xenophobe' halt discussion and debate.
Having made America a bilingual/bicultural country, having established
multi-culturism, having the large foundations fund the doctrine of
'Victimology,' I would next make it impossible to enforce our immigration
laws. I would develop a mantra: That because immigration has been good for
America , it must always be good. I would make every individual immigrant
symmetric and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of them."
In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow. Profound
silence followed. Finally he said, "Lastly, I would censor Victor Hanson
Davis 's book 'Mexifornia.' His book is dangerous. It exposes the plan to
destroy America . If you feel America deserves to be destroyed, don't read
that book."
There was no applause. A chilling fear quietly rose like an ominous cloud
above every attendee at the conference. Every American in that room knew
that everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding methodically, quietly,
darkly, yet pervasively across the United States today. Discussion is being
suppressed. Over 100 languages are ripping the foundation of our educational
system and national cohesiveness. Even barbaric cultures that practice
female genital mutilation are growing as we celebrate 'diversity.' American
jobs are vanishing into the Third World as corporations create a Third World
in America . Take note of California and other states. To date, ten million
illegal aliens and growing fast. It is reminiscent of George Orwell's book
"1984." In that story, three slogans are engraved in the Ministry of Truth
building: "War is peace," "Freedom is slavery," and "Ignorance is strength."
Governor Lamm walked back to his seat. It dawned on everyone at the
conference that our nation and the future of this great democracy is deeply
in trouble and worsening fast. If we don't get this immigration monster
stopped within three years, it will rage like a California wildfire and
destroy everything in its path, especially The American Dream.
If you care for and love our country as I do, take the time to pass this
on just as I did for you. NOTHING is going to happen if you don't!

Charley Reese's final column for the Orlando Sentinel...
He has been a journalist for 49 years.
He is retiring and this is HIS LAST COLUMN.
Be sure to read the Tax List at the end.This is about as clear and easy to understand as it can be. The article below is completely neutral, neither anti-republican or democrat. Charlie Reese, a retired reporter for the Orlando Sentinel, has hit the nail directly on the head, defining clearly who it is that in the final analysis must assume responsibility for the judgments made that impact each one of us every day. It's a short but good read. Worth the time. Worth remembering! 545 vs. 300,000,000 People -By Charlie Reese
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes? You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does.
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.
You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country. I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank. I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party. What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? He is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.
If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan ...
If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.
There are no insoluble government problems.
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.They, and they alone, have the power.
They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses. Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees...We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit against the Barak Obama Presidential Library for Obama White House records about the 2016 “Russia Collusion Hoax.”
The records, which by law were not available under FOIA until five years after President Obama left office, are held at the Library, which is part of the National Archives system.
“The records we are seeking go to the heart of the Obama administration’s efforts to undermine the incoming president, Donald J. Trump, and tie up his new administration in a phony scandal,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “And the Obama Library is part of the same National Archives system that is subjecting President Trump to unprecedented harassment about Trump White House record keeping practices.”

Biden wants to take your guns
In case there is any doubt, President Joe Biden wants to take your guns.
FILE - President Joe Biden speaks during the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment meeting at the G20 summit, Nov. 15, 2022, in Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia. Biden is strengthening U.S. policy aimed at stemming sexual violence in war conflict zones. On Monday, Nov. 28, he will sign a presidential memorandum that will elevate the problem to the level of a possible serious human rights abuse that triggers sanctions and other restrictions against foreign perpetrators. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon, File)© Provided by Washington Examiner
On yet another vacation, Biden spoke to reporters about the recent shooting of University of Virginia football players and the Walmart shooting in Chesapeake, Virginia. “The idea we still allow semi-automatic weapons to be purchased is sick,” Biden said. “Just sick. It has no, no social redeeming value. Zero. None. Not a single solitary rationale for it except profit for the gun manufacturers.”
Note that Biden did not say “assault weapons” or “assault-style weapons" — the liberal description of semi-automatic rifles that Democrats think look scary. Biden was not talking about AR-15s. He said it is “sick” and there is “not a single solitary rationale” for people to be able to own semi-automatic weapons. That includes handguns.
Handguns are the most popular firearms for self-defense. Using 2019 data from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, we can determine that roughly 84% of all handguns manufactured in the United States were semi-automatic weapons. That number has stayed relatively stable over the years, including 85% in 2018, 84% in 2017, and 85% in 2016. Therefore, we can assume that roughly 85% of privately owned handguns are semi-automatic.
“Starting in 2009, Glock-type semiautomatic handguns, purchased for personal protection, began to outsell rifles, which have been typically used in hunting,” according to the New York Times. The rise in crime in the aftermath of the Black Lives Matter riots in 2020 led to a surge in gun sales, and with that came a surge in demand for handguns. “Demand for semiautomatic handguns rose at the fastest rate on record, with pistol production rocketing from around three million to 5.5 million annually,” according to the New York Times.
There are two possibilities that explain Biden’s comments. The first is that he thinks average law-abiding citizens do not deserve to be able to protect themselves, which would match his praise of gun-grabber Beto O’Rourke and his repeated claims that the Second Amendment is not an absolute defense against banning guns. The other conclusion is that Biden knows nothing about guns, does not know what semi-automatic even means, and does not understand that there is little functional difference between semi-automatic handguns and semi-automatic rifles.
Either Biden knows what he is calling for, or he wants to restrict gun ownership without knowing anything about the guns he wants to restrict. The result is the same: Biden would ban average law-abiding citizens from buying and owning guns to defend themselves at a time when Democrats refuse to prosecute criminals to the full extent of the law.

FTX-laundered stolen taxpayer Ukrainian aid money
• House Republican Leader, Kevin McCarthy used FTX-laundered stolen taxpayer Ukrainian aid money to Defeat Conservatives in 2022, destroying the so-called “Red Wave”
• The Republican House Oversight Committee is launching an investigation into Joe Biden’s dealings with his son Hunter to determine whether the President is a National Security Threat
• The G20 unanimously supports a Global Vaccine Passport and…
• The largest peaceful protests in world history are happening in Brazil, as the people resist the election theft and the Globalist/Communist takeover of their country.
The New York Times, in partnership with the World Economic Forum was supposed to be hosting a live event next week with FTX Founder Sam Bankman-Fried, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellin – but it looks like that’s not going to happen, now that FTX has filed for bankruptcy and Bankman-Fried is facing extradition from the Bahamas to the US.
FTX’s new CEO and liquidator, John Ray III, who also oversaw the unwinding and liquidation of Enron, admits that “Never in my career have I seen such a complete failure of corporate controls and such a complete absence of trustworthy financial information as occurred here.”
The class action lawsuit against FTX Sam Bankman-Fried alleges that FTX maintained no bank records, no list of employees, had no employee contracts, zero security and they literally approved expenses using emojis.
On Friday morning, The National File posted a Twitter thread stating that House Republican Leader, Kevin McCarthy used FTX-laundered stolen taxpayer Ukrainian aid money to Defeat Conservatives in 2022, destroying the so-called “Red Wave”.
Top McCarthy political and fundraising insiders, Jeff Miller and Brian Walsh are both closely linked to the failed Red Wave. The Washington Post reported back in September that McCarthy’s plan of defeating conservatives was going to deliver him “a more functioning GOP caucus.”
McCarthy systematically targeted his opponents, like North Carolina’s Madison Cawthorn and he spent millions in his secretive effort to systematically weed out GOP candidates who could cause him trouble as House Speaker.
These candidates included recent candidates in New York, Florida, Washington State, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Texas, California and North Carolina.
GOP leaders (RINOS) say that they’re “enforcing unity within his sometimes fractious Republican caucus”. But is that really what this is? Many conservatives have questions about whether Kevin is creating unity or merely killing off his political opposition inside the GOP.

GOP acrimony spills over at heated Senate lunch BY ALEXANDER BOLTON - 11/15/22
Senate Republicans let their fury and frustration out at one another during a lengthy closed-door meeting that revealed the bitter feelings left over from a crushingly disappointing midterm election.
An at-times nasty and personal discussion took place at the Senate GOP lunch, where Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who have been at odds for months, traded recriminations over who was to blame for the GOP’s failure to win back the Senate.
The biggest fireworks came after McConnell stood up at one point in the meeting and observed that while he heard a lot of criticism of his leadership style, no one had yet announced any plan to challenge him for the job of Republican leader.
Scott, the chairman of the Senate campaign arm, then interjected to say that he planned to challenge McConnell at Wednesday morning’s leadership election, catching many of his GOP colleagues by surprise, according to a Republican source familiar with the conversation in the room.

Abbott says he took unprecedented action to "keep our state & country safe."
IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEBODY DID SOMETHING
Texas governor declares invasion at border, invokes constitutional powers.
Frustrated by an unending crisis fueled by drug and human trafficking at the southern border, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday declared his state was under an invasion and invoked special powers granted under the U.S. and Texas constitutions.Abbott's decision came after three dozen counties in his state passed resolutions calling for the dramatic action. The Republican governor said the declaration allows him to send National Guard troops to the border, treat drug cartels as terrorist organization and to build his own border wall separate of the federal government,
"I invoked the Invasion Clauses of the U.S. & Texas Constitutions to fully authorize Texas to take unprecedented measures to defend our state against an invasion," Abbott tweeted in his announcement" I'm using that constitutional authority, & other authorization & Executive Orders to keep our state & country safe."
Abbott previously garnered national headlines by busing thousands of illegal migrants to blue cities such as Chicago, New York and Washington D.C. But his new action Tuesday marked a major escalation that carries both political and legal consequences.
- Abbott said his declaration would begin efforts to:Deploy the National Guard to the border to repel illegal immigrants, and the Texas Department of Public Safety to arrest and return illegal entrants to their home countries;
- Build a border wall in multiple counties;
- Deploy gun boats to secure the border;
- Designate Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations;
- Enter into a compact with other states to secure the border;
- Enter into agreements with foreign powers to enhance border security;
- And provide resources for border counties to increase their efforts to respond to the border invasion.

Not my words, Just someone who has a lot of questions, As do I...
D**a L***d
DON'T GET ME WRONG...WHAT HAPPENED TO PAUL PELOSI is ABHORRENT....it shouldn't happen to ANYONE....and I know that ALL OF OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH HIM and his family.....
BUT...2 + 2 are NOT MAKING 4...or, maybe I'm wrong...I just have some questions....maybe you know the answers...
BUT...2 + 2 are NOT MAKING 4...or, maybe I'm wrong...I just have some questions....maybe you know the answers...
Who EXACTLY heard the attacker yelling "WHERE'S NANCY????"
Did Paul have the where-with-all to tell that to the police as he was being hit with a hammer?
How was it that the police were there to see the attacker actually HIT PAUL with the hammer, and let it happen, without shooting him...
How is it that "THEY" (you know who "they" are) are saying that the attacker was a conspiracy theorist that believed in the "BIG LIE", and other FAR RIGHT theories....YET, he was homeless, lived in Berkley, made hemp bracelets, came home one day believing he was JESUS, abused his wife and children, was a nudist..
YET, this attack was DONALD TRUMP and his follower's fault!!!!
"MENTALLY ILL"? Nope he's a trump follower according to the news..
HOW IS IT that the home of 3rd in line to the presidency didn't have SECURITY CAMERAS and ALARMS EVERYWHERE????
HOW was it that Paul Pelosi told the attacker he had to use the bathroom, then called 911 and TALKED CODE so the attacker didn't know he was calling them...."The emergency services dispatcher, Heather Grimes, heard an exchange between Paul Pelosi and his attacker as he spoke in “code” to alert the authorities there was a problem. “What’s going on? Why are you here? What are you going to do to me?” Pelosi reportedly said while on the call."
SO, if Paul was in the bathroom calling 911, possibly woken up by a window being smashed with no reference to an alarm going off, came back into the room, was battling the attacker who was then smashing him in the head, when was there time for Paul to tell the police that the attacker said WHERE'S NANCY????? It seems like that would be the last thing he would report to the police as his skull was fractured....
AND ISN'T IT INTERESTING that the MAIN STREAM MEDIA said that the attacker was yelling "where's nancy" just like those recorded from the "insurrectionists" as they yelled the same "WHERE'S NANCY", as they went through the halls of Congress, which, of course, they played over and over again so they could lay blame on Trump and 1/6???
AND ANOTHER QUESTION...
If you were going to break into Pelosi's why would they only have on their UNDERWEAR...no shirt, no pants, just his whitey tighties...
IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AND NO ALARMS...????
Why is the broken glass, on the door, on the OUTSIDE of the house, and not the inside????
Why wasn't the door that had the broken glass the same door that the intruder entered...in the pictures, it was still closed...only the 2 doors on the next bank of doors were open, not where you'd expect him to put his hand in the broken window and unlock that door.
OPEN TO ANY ANSWERS YOU MAY HAVE..

Save America PAC Responds to Trump's Jan. 6 Panel Subpoena By Luca Cacciatore | Friday, 21 October 2022
Donald Trump's Save America PAC rushed to his defense on Friday, issuing a fundraising email that condemns the House Jan. 6 committee's decision to subpoena the former president.
"The January 6th Unselect Committee just voted to SUBPOENA the 45th President of the United States. 18 DAYS before the Midterm Elections, America is truly a Nation in decline," the email read.
"Instead of using their final days in power to better America, the Democrats are coming after OUR President and demeaning our great Country at YOUR expense. They have no interest in leading our great Nation. They are bitter, power-hungry, and desperate to win in November," it added.
The political action committee also pointed out past probes into Trump that it said have come up empty, including the Robert Mueller investigation, two impeachment trials and the alleged FBI spying on his 2016 presidential campaign.
"Stand with President Trump," the message further pleads.
The fundraising email serves as the second response directly affiliated with the former president to the Jan. 6 panel, which issued a letter to Trump's lawyers demanding his testimony under oath by Nov. 14.
In addition, the committee is seeking from Trump all sensitive documents and private communications with relevant individuals related to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
"We recognize that a subpoena to a former president is a significant and historic action," wrote committee Chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and Vice Chair Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo. "We do not take this action lightly."
"In short, you were at the center of the first and only effort by any U.S. president to overturn an election and obstruct the peaceful transition of power, ultimately culminating in a bloody attack on our own Capitol and on the Congress itself," the two wrote.
Earlier Friday, Trump lawyer David Warrington issued a statement condemning the subpoena, The Associated Press reported.
"We understand that, once again, flouting norms and appropriate and customary process, the committee has publicly released a copy of its subpoena," Warrington said. "As with any similar matter, we will review and analyze it and will respond as appropriate to this unprecedented action."
