January 6 Committee Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) offered a resolution to issue a subpoena to hear from former President Trump regarding the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. She said, "we are obligated to seek answers directly from the man who set this all in motion, and every American is entitled to those answers so we can act now to protect our republic." Her resolution came during the January 6 Committee hearing on the investigation of the attack on the U.S. Capitol after committee Chair Bennie Thompson (D-MS) said they wanted to hear from the former president because he "is required to answer for his actions." The committee members recounted prior evidence in lockstep with newly obtained evidence, such as the Secret Service's knowledge of a planned attack on the U.S. Capitol prior to January 6. They also shared never-before-seen video of members of Congress seeking safety and asking for help during the attack.
