More Congressional Subpoenas, But Still No Use of Congress's Lawful Tool of Inherent Contempt
Glenn Kirschner
The House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol attack has issued another round of congressional subpoenas, inching closer to the hub of the conspiracy, Donald Trump. These subpoenas - for Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis and others - will almost certainly be ignored, defied, derided and dodged just as others have been. The question we ask over and over again is: when will Congress use its lawful power of inherent contempt to enforce its subpoenas?
In another development, the Supreme Court rejected Trump's attempt to stop the January 6 committee from getting presidential records from the National Archives. This is yet another indicator that the investigative circle is tightening around Donald Trump.
