According to the US "Capitol Hill" report, Thompson, chairman of the House Select Committee, said in a letter to Trump's lawyer that the committee has completed its hearings and released its final report, but the committee's mission is coming to an end and the investigation is coming to an end. It is no longer possible to trace the contents of the subpoena.
Trump responded by saying, "They probably did it because they knew I did nothing wrong, or they're going to lose in court."
On January 6, 2021, during the counting of electoral votes in Congress, a large number of Trump supporters violently stormed Congress, killing at least five people.
After nearly a year of investigation and evidence collection, the Select Committee of the House of Representatives will start a series of public hearings on the riots on Capitol Hill from June 9, 2022.
On October 21, 2022, the Select Committee of the House of Representatives issued a subpoena to Trump requiring him to go to Congress or testify via video.
But Trump's side launched a lawsuit to try to block the subpoena and declined to testify.
On the evening of December 22, the Select Committee of the House of Representatives released a final investigation report of more than 800 pages, directly blaming Trump for the riots on Capitol Hill and recommending that he be banned from holding public office in the future.
After the report was released, Trump once again criticized it as a "highly partisan" report and a "political persecution" of him.
