The January 6th Committee has officially given up on trying to secure direct testimony from Donald Trump. Harmeet Dhillon, who is running for RNC chair against Ronna McDaniel and whose law firm represented Trump on the matter, announced on Wednesday that the subpoena of the former president had been officially withdrawn.

The letter was signed by Rep. Bennie Thompson, who chairs the soon-to-be shuttered committee. In it, he cites the completion of the committee’s work as the reason for withdrawing the subpoena, though that ignores the fact that they didn’t win in court.
