White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre would not comment Friday on the new subpoena calling for former President Donald Trump to testify before the House's January 6 Select Committee.
The subpoena was first raised during the committee's final hearing in mid-October but was not formally filed until Friday.
"I’m just going to speak more broadly on this, as we do not comment on any ongoing investigation," Jean-Pierre responded when asked Friday if Trump should comply with the summons."The Department of Justice is independent in regards to any investigation."Jean-Pierre reminded reporters that President Joe Biden"has spoken to this many times" and claimed that"it is important to get to the bottom of January 6.
"As you have heard him say, January 6 is one of the darkest days in our nation," she continued."It’s important for the American people to know exactly what happened so that it doesn’t happen again."The committee filed the Trump subpoena the same day that Steve Bannon, one of Trump's former top advisers, was sentenced to four months in prison for Contempt of Congress after refusing to comply with a previous subpoena issued by the January 6 Committee.
