'Not only the deposition of the president himself, but records related to him. Whether those be cellphone, Twitter accounts, communications with individuals,' said Democratic Rep. Stacey Plaskett.
Saturday, Plaskett, a former House impeachment manager, said"Bennie Thompson has made it very clear that he is going to take this select committee and its members, who are in full agreement with him, wherever the facts may lead them."
"We've recently seen, even in a civil case, that the president has been compelled to give depositions and so his ability to remove himself from depositions in this matter may be far-fetched," Plaskett added. As part of the sweeping House select committee investigation into January 6, the panel has requested a trove of documents from several federal agencies, including the National Archives, which holds the White House records of the Trump administration.
