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.

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