A congressional panel has voted to compel Donald Trump to testify under oath after naming the former president as the central cause" of the deadly attack on the US Capitol on January 6.

The House of Representatives select committee investigating last year's riot voted unanimously on Thursday to subpoena Trump for testimony and documents in what may prove a mostly symbolic gesture, given time constraints and his likely legal resistance.
