The House committee investigating the attempted coup on January 6th has issued another batch of subpoenas, these targeting top Trump officials. NBC News writes:
Six individuals were subpoenaed: Bill Stepien, Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign manager; Jason Miller, a senior campaign adviser; Angela McCallum, a former campaign aide; John Eastman, a conservative lawyer who reportedly advised Trump and others in the administration; Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser; and Bernard Kerik, an adviser who the committee said used Washington, D.C. hotels to serve as “command centers” for the campaign’s election strategy.
“In the days before the January 6th attack, the former President’s closest allies and advisors drove a campaign of misinformation about the election and planned ways to stop the count of Electoral College votes. The Select Committee needs to know every detail about their efforts to overturn the election, including who they were talking to in the White House and in Congress, what connections they had with rallies that escalated into a riot, and who paid for it all.”
Rep. Bennie Thompson, (D-Miss) Committee Chairman
The committee has also sought information from former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, who has refused to cooperate. The House voted to hold him in contempt of Congress. The Department of Justice has yet to criminally prosecute Bannon.
