On Wednesday, the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot issued subpoenas to 11 people, including the founders and staffers of the pro-Trump group Women for America First.
Women for America First held the permit for the "Stop the Steal" rally that took place immediately before supporters of former President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol. The organization's founder, Amy Kremer, has been asked to turn over documents and appear before the committee for a deposition. Another person asked to give information to the committee is Maggie Mulvaney, the niece of Mick Mulvaney, an ex-GOP congressman and one-time acting White House chief of staff. She was listed on the rally permit as a "VIP lead," The Washington Post reports.

Last week, subpoenas were sent to several people close to Trump, including former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and longtime adviser Steve Bannon. Many more subpoenas are expected to be issued in the coming weeks, and Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), the select committee's vice chair, said numerous people have "reached out to us who are coming in without subpoenas, coming in to talk to us, coming in to do what I think really is their duty as citizens to share what happened that day and in the days leading up to Jan. 6."
