Nancy Pelosi Says Trump's 'Not Man Enough' To Testify Before Jan. 6 Panel
And if he ignores his subpoena and blows off testimony, Americans should
judge him harshly for holding himself "above the law," said the House speaker.
Oct 23, 2022
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi <https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/nancy-pelosi>
(D-Calif.) apparently tried to goad Donald Trump
<https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/donald-trump> into testifying before the
House Jan. 6 committee with a challenging insult Sunday that he’s “not man
enough <https://youtu.be/HEdBTA0-6Tk>” to do so.
“I don’t think he’s man enough to show up,” Pelosi said on MSNBC
<https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/msnbc>’s “The Sunday Show.” And if he
fails to turn up, the public should judge him harshly for it
<https://youtu.be/HEdBTA0-6Tk>, she said.
“No one is above the law,” Pelosi noted. “If we believe that, then they
[Americans] should make a judgment about how he responds to that request.”
If Trump blows off the testimony, he clearly “thinks that he is above the
law,” she added.
Trump was subpoenaed to testify
<https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-subpoena-jan-6-committee_n_634f3c51e4b03e8038d92069>
by the committee last Friday and requires Trump to submit required evidence
by Nov. 4 and sit for a deposition on Nov. 14.
As of Sunday, Trump hadn’t publicly responded to the subpoena. His legal team
said it would analyze and respond appropriately shortly

to this “unprecedented action.”
But Trump has told aides he might comply if he can testify on live TV, The
New York Times reported
<https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/10/13/us/jan-6-hearing-trump?smid=url-share#a5d59571-1bcc-599a-b91b-711d12056fb3>
earlier this month.
His son Eric Trump <https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/eric-trump> happily
envisioned such a scenario

in a speech Friday at a right-wing rally in Pennsylvania.
“My father finally got a subpoena from the Jan. 6 committee,” Eric Trump told
a cheering crowd. “I told him ... you have to go testify .... it will be the
greatest entertainment

Who wants to pop a beer, make some popcorn and watch Donald Trump talk about
election fraud in the United States of America?”
That’s not going to happen, Jan. 6 committee chair Rep. Liz Cheney
<https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/liz-cheney> (R-Wyo.) vowed in an
interview Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“The committee treats this matter with great seriousness. We are going to
proceed in terms of the questioning of the former president under oath,”
Cheney explained. “It may take multiple days, and it will be done with a
level of rigor and discipline and seriousness that it deserves.”
Trump won’t be allowed to “turn this into a circus,” Cheney added. “This
isn’t going to be his first debate against Joe Biden
<https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/joe-biden> and the circus and food fight
that became. This is a far too serious set of issues. We’ve made clear
exactly what his obligations are.”
If Trump refuses to comply with the subpoena, Cheney said there are “many,
many alternatives that we will consider.” A subpoena, she noted, is a “legal
obligation every American citizen has to comply with.”
