The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack has issued subpoenas to several ex-aides and advisers to former President Donald Trump, including former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and former deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino.
Subpoenas were also sent to longtime Trump adviser Steve Bannon and Kash Patel, a former Pentagon chief of staff, the committee announced on Thursday evening. All four men are being asked to turn over records and appear for depositions in October, with the panel expecting them to resist participating in the inquiry, Politico reports.
