Judge Fines Jan. 6 Organizer $2,000 Daily Until She Complies With Subpoena

Caroline Wren was slammed for repeatedly ignoring a subpoena tied to injured Capitol police officers.
A federal judge has ordered an organizer of President Donald Trump’s Jan. 6, 2021 rally in Washington to pay $2,000 a day until she responds to a subpoena seeking information about the volatile event’s planning and fundraising efforts.
Republican fundraiser Caroline Wren, who was listed as a “VIP ADVISOR” with the “Save America” rally, was issued the stiff fine shortly after failing to attend a virtual hearing in Florida on Wednesday related to a subpoena that was first filed against her by U.S. Capitol police officers in early 2024.
The officers, who were injured in the Jan. 6 attack, are seeking information from her that they say is relevant to a lawsuit they filed against Trump, his presidential campaign and others. This information includes “documents regarding the Rally, including planning the programming, fundraising, communications about planning, the VIP section, security, and encouraging attendance,” according to court documents.
Trump infamously spoke at the rally, telling his supporters that the election had been stolen and that they had to “fight like hell” before directing them to march to the U.S. Capitol, which was then violently ransacked.
Some of the event’s organizers reportedly knew about Trump’s plans to order the crowd to march to the Capitol, despite them repeatedly denying it to the National Park Service, according to an inspector general investigation.
