who s at the center plot to overturn the election. the man whose lies about the results pose a threat to democracy to this day. the ex-president himself, donald trump. that subpoena promises to add to his mountain of legal trouble and peril. the ones he already faces. multiple investigations into his handling of government records, family businesses and his attempt to overturn his defeat. it sets the stage for a number of big decisions for the january 6 select committee. abc news is reporting this. on internal deliberations within the committee on what his testimony could look like. there s been talk for months about whether they want trump to testify in a live setting. no doubt they want him to testify under oath. some members are hesitant to give him a live stage while others view it as beneficial to the investigation as they would get to question him under oath and there appears to be more of an openness to committee members having him appear live. should he refuse, the co
