The House select committee probing the January 6 Capitol attack issued 10 new subpoenas on Tuesday that included former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany and Trump senior adviser Stephen Miller.
‘The Select Committee wants to learn every detail of what went on in the White House on January 6th and in the days beforehand. We need to know precisely what role the former President and his aides played in efforts to stop the counting of the electoral votes and if they were in touch with anyone outside the White House attempting to overturn the outcome of the election,’ Chairman Bennie Thompson wrote announcing the fresh subpoenas.
He said the 10 witnesses in the announcement had ‘relevant information’ to aid the Congressional investigation.
McEnany is a person of interest because she pushed false election fraud claims from the White House podium and was with the former president for parts of January 6, the select committee said.
The committee said it’s interested in hearing from Miller because he ‘by his own account participated in efforts to spread false information about alleged voter fraud in the November 2020 election.’
Miller also encouraged Republican state legislators to alter their states’ election results by appointing alternate slates of electors to the Electoral College.
Beyond the household names of Miller and McEnany, the committee also wants to hear from Nicholas Luna, former President Donald Trump’s personal assistant, Molly Michael, the Oval Office Operations Coordinator, as well as Ben Williamson, who worked under White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
