The congressional committee investigating the U.S. Capitol riots issued a new round of five subpoenas, taking the number of people it wants to question about what happened on January 6 to more than three dozen.
Representative Bennie Thompson (D-MS), the committee chair, said on Monday it had subpoenaed Republican political consultant Roger Stone, right-wing commentator Alex Jones and Trump’s latest spokesperson Taylor Budowich.
The committee is also demanding records and testimony from Dustin Stockton and his partner Jennifer Lawrence, who had ties to the “Stop the Steal” movement following the election.
Thompson said his committee wanted information from the group about the rallies and march to the Capitol “that escalated into a violent mob attacking the Capitol and threatening our democracy.”
He said the committee believes the latest witnesses subpoenaed “have relevant information and we expect them to cooperate fully with our effort to get answers for the American people about the violence of January 6th.”
