Subpoenas could shed light on how Jan. 6 rally came together
The House committee investigating the violent Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, with its latest round of subpoenas, may uncover the degree to which former President Donald Trump, his campaign and White House were involved in planning the rally which had been billed as a grassroots demonstration that preceded the riot.
The 11 subpoenas sent this week went to people who organized or worked at the rally at the Ellipse where Trump encouraged the crowd to march to the Capitol and told them youll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong."
Most of the organizers had worked on Trumps presidential campaign or in his administration and could provide new details of how the rally that launched the violent attack came together.
The committees demands included materials having to do with planning, funding and participation in the event at the Ellipse, which was organized to protest the results of the November elections, as well as events that led up to it, including a bus tour and marches in Washington in November and December. The committee said it also asked for communications with Trump administration officials and lawmakers, which could show whether and how deeply government officials were involved in the days planning.
