House January 6 committee subpoenas Alex Jones and Roger Stone

The House select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol has issued subpoenas to onetime Trump ally Roger Stone and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones as a part of their investigation. 

The committee is demanding records and testimony from Jones and Stone, along with three other witnesses the committee believes had knowledge of the planning and financing of of the rallies and assault on the Capitol. The latest subpoenas come after former Trump political strategist Steve Bannon was indicted by a federal grand jury for defying the committee's summons. Bannon has pleaded not guilty.

"The select committee is seeking information about the rallies and subsequent march to the Capitol that escalated into a violent mob attacking the Capitol and threatening our democracy," the committee's chairman, Congressman Bennie Thompson, said in a statement. "We need to know who organized, planned, paid for, and received funds related to those events, as well as what communications organizers had with officials in the White House and Congress. We believe the witnesses we subpoenaed today have relevant information and we expect them to cooperate fully with our effort to get answers for the American people about the violence of January 6th."
