Hey there,
The Justice Department just sent a letter to former Trump administration officials letting them know that they can testify before Congress about the January 6 insurrection.
Trump threw a fit trying to prevent this. He argued that his former DOJ officials couldn't be asked to testify because he's protected by executive privilege. He knows this could be a disaster for him, and he's scared.
But Trump's executive privilege excuse didn't work.
The DOJ's letter told these former officials to go ahead and offer “unrestricted testimony … irrespective of potential privilege.” That's because, according to the DOJ, these circumstances are just too unusual for executive privilege to count for much.
After all, what does executive privilege mean when you're talking about an executive like Trump -- an executive who tried to orchestrate a coup, urged officials to spread falsehoods about election tampering, and encouraged deadly extremism? Trump gave up any privilege he had in his ruthless pursuit of unlimited power.
Congress, and America, may finally hear the truth -- straight from the people who witnessed Trump's machinations firsthand. So, please, tell us what you think the January 6 Select Committee should do:
Should Trump administration officials testify before the January 6 commission?
Thank you for weighing in. It's important we know if our supporters are still all in for this fight.
- Progressive Majority
