(The Hill) – The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol will hold a primetime hearing on Thursday as it seeks to bring its findings to the public.
While many people have sat down with the committee voluntarily, it has also issued more than 100 subpoenas to lawmakers, internet and communications companies, Trump White House officials and others.
Here’s a list of who the committee has subpoenaed so far, and why the committee says their testimony was necessary.
TRUMP FAMILY
The fiancee of Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., Guilfoyle spoke at the Jan. 6 rally on the Ellipse. After the rally, where former President Trump also spoke, a mob of Trump’s supporters marched to the Capitol, which was later invaded.
Lawmakers certifying the results of the 2020 election were evacuated as the effort was suspended. It was resumed after the building was cleared.
Guilfoyle is the only member of Trump’s family known to have received a subpoena directly, but multiple members have cooperated with the committee voluntarily, including Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter, her husband, Jared Kushner, and Donald Trump Jr. The committee has also reportedly subpoenaed Eric Trump’s phone records.
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
Biggs’ lawyers last week requested additional information on the “rationale” for the subpoena.
Brooks spoke at the Jan. 6 rally on the Ellipse. Brooks said last month that he would refuse to testify if it was in private or before his Senate primary runoff election later this month.
Jordan demanded the panel turn over the bulk of the information it has collected on him as he weighs how to respond. The committee responded by extending his subpoena deadline and laid out eight topics of its inquiry, including efforts by Jordan to reach then-Attorney General William Barr the day before the 2020 election.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.)
McCarthy responded to his subpoena by questioning the panel’s legitimacy late last month. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) had rejected two of McCarthy’s initial picks for the committee. The panel has taken interest in conversations between McCarthy and Trump surrounding the attack. McCarthy has said in press interviews on Jan. 6 and after that he had talked to Trump and asked him to speak to the public to stop the attack.
Perry, the chairman of the Freedom Caucus, is slated to meet with Trump on Tuesday with other members of the caucus as the committee’s prime-time hearings approach.
