Mr Giuliani, who served as the lawyer for former US President Donald Trump, had already agreed to a “transcribed interview” with the committee before making the request, spokesman Tim Mulvey said.
“Mr. Giuliani is an important witness to the conspiracy to overthrow the government and he remains under subpoena,” Mr. Mulvey said. “If he refuses to comply, the commission will consider all execution options.”
