The committee voted 9-0 to pursue criminal charges against Clark, who aligned with Donald Trump as the then-president tried to overturn his election defeat.
Clark appeared for a deposition last month but refused to answer any questions, citing Trump's legal efforts to block the committee's investigation.
Thompson said he believes Clark's attempt to return is a "a last-ditch attempt to delay the Select Committee's proceedings" but it has agreed to try to interview him again. The vote came as Trump's top White House aide at the time, chief of staff Mark Meadows, has agreed to cooperate with the panel on a limited basis after more than two months of negotiations. Meadows has provided some documents and is expected to sit for a deposition as soon as next week, though his lawyer has indicated he will decline to answer specific questions about his conversations with the president.
