Notice that they "request" that he testify in person. If he were to show up in person for that kangaroo court he would have to be an idiot (which he is not... hopefully).
The correct answer is to tell them to fuck off in the appropriate legalese, and let his lawyers do all the talking. The managers will not allow evidence of election fraud to be shown, and if by some miracle they do, the President is not the best person to make that presentation in any event.
He is paying his lawyers big bucks to handle this mess for him - so he should let them do their jobs and not get in their way.
I don’t believe they can force you to testify. President or not, you have - 5th amendment right against self incrimination.
A counter argument would be that it isn’t a criminal trial. However, if what you say can be used at a later criminal trial against you, 5th amendment attaches.
He'll "fight" it just to give the MSM fodder and to rope-a-dope Congress a little more. Then drop MOAB after MOAB during the testimony. These people are stupid.
I always hoped he'd be allowed to speak, answer and ask questions himself, with his legal team standing by. But it also legitimizes this farce if he complies.
I think that would potentially be a very good thing... they would mess thier pants the entire time. Trump is so much more intelligent & wise than they.

So - if I were Trump, I’d say “get rekt.”

Be careful what you ask for..,
"Request" Ahhh, NO Since seemingly no body else follows rules, I hope he tells them to pound sand.
I hope he doesn’t go. I don’t trust the dems. I hope Trump doesn’t trust the dems either. Please do not go.
I don't blame him. It's a trap anyway.
One way for entrapment...
IMPeachment manager: "President Trump, sorry I mean former, are you part of Q?"
President Trump: "Yes, BOOM, you're all fired and under arrest!"
or maybe he would just plead the 5th
Perjury TRAP! Do not testify under oath!
President Trump will not testify.
He's not going to testify.
getting this info from a non check mark?
It’s kinda all over the place dude. Takes two seconds to research. Also, relying blue checks is cucked AF
It is probably a perjury trap

Poke the lion. See him rip off your heads next week. Most people wouldn't want to poke too much. Guess they've not learned their lesson after 4 years.
Gonna be yuge!
