Related: About this forumCongress Prepares to Subpoena...Members of Congress. What might Jim Jordan Do if Forced to Testify?
The Atlantic published an article by law professor Kim Wehle arguing that it is lawful/constitutional for the House Select Committee investigating the insurrection to subpoena members of Congress to testify.
What might happen if someone like Representative Jim Jordan were subpoenaed to testify? Might he invoke his 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination? And if a witness "pleads the 5th" what are the possible consequence of a congressional grant of immunity? This video reviews these question and more.
