Five questions Trump’s ex-lawyer Cipollone could answer for the Jan. 6 committee

After weeks of resistance, White House Counsel Pat Cipollone is set to appear Friday for closed door testimony before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

 

Cipollone was subpoenaed by the committee last week after he met with the panel’s investigators in April but pushed back against sitting for formal testimony.

 

His second meeting with the committee comes after numerous public pleas for his cooperation, with the panel’s members saying his actions to intervene on Jan. 6 could help supply crucial testimony for its investigation.

 

Here are five questions he may be able to answer for the committee.
