House impeachment managers are reportedly pressuring former President Donald Trump to testify in person at his Senate trial next week, threatening that his “refusal to testify supports a strong adverse inference regarding your actions.”

“In light of your disputing these factual allegations, I write to invite you to provide testimony under oath, either before or during the Senate impeachment trial, concerning your conduct on Jan. 6, 2021,” Democratic lawmaker Jamie Raskin, the lead House impeachment manager, wrote in a letter to Trump and his attorneys, according to the New York Post.
