The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot has issued a subpoena to Kimberly Guilfoyle, Donald Trump Jr.'s fiancée and a former Fox News host.

Last week, Guilfoyle met virtually with the committee's counsel for a voluntary interview, but when she learned that two members of the panel, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), had joined the meeting, she stopped answering questions, The Guardian reports. Her lawyer later accused the committee of attempting to "sandbag" Guilfoyle.
