January 6 hearing takeaways: Trump knew he lost and now faces subpoena

Committee wraps up its likely last hearing with a bang when it voted to subpoena Trump to give evidence

The House committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol wrapped up its likely last public hearing with a bang - not a whimper - when it voted to subpoena former US president Donald Trump to give evidence.

The move was the culmination, not just of the last hearing, but of the panel's work so far in placing Trump dead at the center of a conspiracy to steal the 2020 presidential election and then to foment a violent riot in Washington DC aimed at preventing Democrat Joe Biden being certified as the winner.
