Raskin to Trump: "If you decline this invitation, we reserve any and all rights, including the right to establish at trial that your refusal to testify supports a strong adverse inference regarding your actions (and inaction) on January 6, 2021."

(833 posts)That's highly likely. He'll want the public platform to broadcast his lie: that he won by a landslide. But I also think it's likely that if they get him under oath, with the threat of perjuring himself before the Senate, he'll fold like a cheap lawn chair, just as he's done in past depositions. He might be revealed as the coward he is.
