Democrats demand Donald Trump testify under oath at his Senate impeachment trial

House impeachment managers asked former President Donald Trump to testify under oath in his impeachment trial next week.

Lead Impeachment Manager Jamie Raskin sent a letter to Trump, asking he provide testimony under oath, either before or during the Senate impeachment trial, about his conduct on January 6. 

‘In light of your disputing these factual allegations, I write to invite you to provide testimony under oath, either before or during the Senate impeachment trial, concerning your conduct on January 6, 2021. We would propose that you provide your testimony (of course including cross-examination) as early as Monday, February 8, 2021, and not later than Thursday, February 11, 2021. We would be pleased to arrange such testimony at a mutually convenient time and place,’ he wrote.

‘If you decline this invitation, we reserve any and all rights, including the right to establish at trial that your refusal to testify supports a strong adverse inference regarding your actions (and inaction) on January 6, 2021,’ Raskin noted.

President Trump’s office did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com’s request for comment. 

He requested a response by no later than Friday, February 5, 2021 at 5 pm.
