The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack has issued 11 subpoenas to organizers of the pro-Trump rally that turned into a march on the Capitol.
The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack issued 11 subpoenas Wednesday to organizers of the pro-Trump rally outside the White House that turned into a march on the U.S Capitol.
The committee, which recently subpoenaed Trump's closest aides and advisers for records and depositions by mid-October, is seeking documents and testimony as part of its investigation into the insurrection at the Capitol and Trump's actions before, during and after the riot, along with Trump's broader campaign to challenge the election results from inside and outside the federal government.
Trump himself addressed the rally, which was held just south of the White House on the National Mall.
As part of their inquiry, investigators are reviewing ties and communications between Trump White House associates and organizers of the "Stop the Steal" rally, which was planned for the day Congress convened to affirm the election results. Thousands of people traveled to D.C. for the event, with many going on to assault police officers and forcibly enter the U.S. Capitol, temporarily disrupting the electoral count.
