And the witch hunt continues for the sham Jan.6 committee…
The House sham Jan. 6 committee subpoenaed former White House counsel Pat Cipollone on Wednesday, following Cassidy Hutchinson’s surprise witness testimony on Tuesday.
They plan to ask Cipollone about “former President Trump’s awareness of and involvement in” changing the outcome of the 2020 election, Jan. 6 panel chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) wrote in a letter to Cipollone on Wednesday.
The Democrat-led committee specifically wants to know about “the submission of fake electoral ballots to Congress and the executive branch, the attempted appointment of Jeffrey Clark as acting Attorney General, and efforts to interfere with the Congressional certification of the electoral results,” Thompson explained, adding that “credible evidence” shows Cipollone has this information.
As we heard yesterday, WH counsel Pat Cippollone had significant concerns re. Trump’s Jan 6 activities. It’s time for Mr. Cippollone to testify on the record. Any concerns he has about the institutional interests of his prior office are outweighed by the need for his testimony.

Below is the Press release:
Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) and Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) today announced that the Select Committee has subpoenaed former White House Counsel Pasquale “Pat” Cipollone for deposition testimony as a part of the committee’s investigation into the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The Chairman and Vice Chair released the following statement:
“The Select Committee’s investigation has revealed evidence that Mr. Cipollone repeatedly raised legal and other concerns about President Trump’s activities on January 6th and in the days that preceded. While the Select Committee appreciates Mr. Cipollone’s earlier informal engagement with our investigation, the committee needs to hear from him on the record, as other former White House counsels have done in other congressional investigations. Any concerns Mr. Cipollone has about the institutional prerogatives of the office he previously held are clearly outweighed by the need for his testimony.”
