The House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection has subpoenaed Jeffrey Clark, a Justice Department official who was integral to helping then-President Donald Trump in his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, the committee announced Wednesday.
CNN has also learned that former acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen is scheduled to meet with the committee Wednesday. Rosen served in the role during the final days of the Trump administration.
Both moves underscore the panel's interest in learning more about how Trump attempted to pressure top officials to investigate claims of election fraud during the former President's final days in office -- an issue the committee has said is a focal point of its sweeping probe into the events around January 6.
