The select committee probing the January 6 Capitol riot issued subpoenas to four former advisers of President Trump on Thursday, escalating the inquiry into the parties and individuals believed to be involved in the incident.
Those requested to submit documents and depositions regarding the events of that day include Mark Meadows, the former White House chief of staff; Dan Scavino Jr., who served as deputy chief of staff; Stephen K. Bannon, Trump's former adviser; and Kash Patel, the former Pentagon chief of staff.
“The select committee is investigating the facts, circumstances and causes of the Jan. 6 attack, and issues relating to the peaceful transfer of power, in order to identify and evaluate lessons learned and to recommend to the House and its relevant committees corrective laws, policies, procedures, rules or regulations,” Democratic representative Bennie Thompson, the committee’s chairman, wrote in a statement obtained by the New York Times.
