The congressional investigation into the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol on Friday formally demanded that Donald Trump provide documents and testimony under oath.
The nine-member House January 6 committee said it had sent a subpoena to the former president, setting the scene for another legal battle and possible criminal charges for Trump if he does comply.
It was issued on the day that Steve Bannon, one of Trump's former top advisers, was sentenced to four months in prison for refusing to cooperate with the lawmakers.
In an accompanying letter, Chairman Bennie Thompson and Vice Chair Liz Cheney, said: 'As demonstrated in our hearings, we have assembled overwhelming evidence, including from dozens of your former appointees and staff, that you personally orchestrated and oversaw a multi-part effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election and to obstruct the peaceful transition of power.'
They ordered Trump to produce the documents by November 4 and to appear for a deposition on or around November 14.
