A subpoena will be issued to summon former president Donald Trump to testify before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The nine-member panel voted unanimously on Friday in favor of the subpoena. 

The committee has interviewed over 1,000 witnesses, according to the Associated Press, in its inquiry into what is widely called an “insurrection” by right-wing extremists trying to prevent the certification of the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as president and vice president.

It’s unclear whether Trump will comply with the subpoena and what Congress would do if he simply ignored it.

“They use their expensive rockers for nothing, just to frighten people,” said Volodymyr Ariev, who serves in his nation’s Parliament. “They think they can scare Ukrainians. But the goal they achieved is only making us angrier.”
