Former President Donald Trump was a no-show for a J6 deposition testimony before the congressional committee investigating his involvement in the J6 U.S. Capitol Riot last year, the panel said on Monday.

In doing so Trump defied a subpoena issued by the panel in October, Chair Bennie Thompson, a Democrat, and co-chair Liz Cheney, a Republican, said in a joint statement.

“The truth is that Donald Trump, like several of his closest allies, is hiding from the Select Committee’s investigation and refusing to do what more than a thousand other witnesses have done,” Thompson and Cheney said.

According to Newsmax, the panel did not say what actions they plan on taking against Trump for not appearing before the committee. Thompson told the New York Times in an interview that he would not rule out seeking contempt of Congress charges against the former president.

“That could be an option. And we’ll have to wait and see,” Thomson told the Times. “The first thing we’ll do is see how we address the lawsuit. At some point after that, we’ll decide the path forward.”

Trump filed a lawsuit on Friday seeking to avoid having to testify or provide any documentation to the Jan. 6 committee.
