The panel has already summoned numerous former Trump campaign officials and administration staffers.
The US panel investigating the January 6 insurrection subpoenaed five more of Donald Trump's allies Monday, closing in on the actions of those directly involved in planning rallies around the assault.
Far-right radio host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and self-styled "dirty trickster" Roger Stone were ordered to testify alongside two key figures in Trump's "Stop the Steal" movement, as well as the former president's current spokesman.
"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," chairman 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."
