Jan. 6 committee hasn’t subpoenaed Trump yet, but that could change soon

As of Oct. 9, 2022, the House Jan. 6 committee had not yet voted to subpoena Donald Trump. The panel did that on Oct. 13 and issued the subpoena on Oct. 21, so the real story on the dateline is the committee’s move toward direct confrontation, not a subpoena already in hand.
