WASHINGTON – The committee investigating the Capitol riot has issued its first subpoenas to former president Donald Trump’s allies – including Mark Meadows and Steve Bannon.
The Democratic-led committee has demanded documents and called them to testify in mid-October.
A letter written by the committee’s chairman suggests they were involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election that led to the deadly unrest.
Lawmakers are after information on Trump’s actions leading up to the riot.
The committee’s first four subpoenas were issued to Meadows, former White House chief of staff; Bannon, Trump’s former advisor; former deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino; and Kashyap Patel, a former Pentagon chief of staff.(BBC)
