George Conway, the conservative lawyer husband of former White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, seriously doubts former President Donald Trump will testify to the Jan. 6 Committee in compliance with a subpoena approved on Thursday.
On the heels of the unanimous vote in favor of a subpoena, Conway joined a CNN panel to react to the Jan. 6 panel’s presentation, and after he argued that Trump has an “enormous amount of legal exposure,” made a prediction for how the former president will react to the subpoena.
“He won’t do it, and they highlighted the fact he won’t do it by noting the fact that so many around him took the Fifth Amendment or otherwise avoided testimony and that’s what he’s going to do here obviously, but it really puts it to him, and why can’t he answer? Why can’t he answer directly? Why can’t he answer under oath? And he won’t, and that’s — that’s the gauntlet they threw,” Conway said.

Trump has yet to react to the committee’s vote to approve a subpoena for testimony and documents, which came at the end of the big event on Thursday.
“We need to hear from him,” Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) said of Trump while introducing the vote. “It is our obligation to seek Donald Trump’s testimony.”
