Many Jan. 6 rally organizers poised to comply with committee, top Trump aides expected to rebuff

Many planners of the Jan. 6 pro-Trump rally are expected to comply with the committee probing the Capitol riot, but top Trump aides are expected to rebuff, sources say.
Most of the 11 individuals linked to the pro-Trump rally that preceded the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol are expected to comply with the House select committee's investigation into the insurrection, while other top Trump associates are expected to attempt to rebuff the committee's requests, sources with direct knowledge tell ABC News.
Last week, the committee issued 11 subpoenas requesting documents and depositions from organizers and others associated with the pro-Trump rally outside the White House that turned into a march on the U.S. Capitol.
ABC News has confirmed that so far a majority of those contacted have engaged in active conversations with the committee. The extent to which they expect to cooperate with the committee's investigation is not clear.
Lyndon Brentnall, the owner of RMS Protective Services, the Florida-based private security firm listed on the National Park Service permit for the rally, and the only individual contacted by the committee to respond on the record, told ABC News, "I have every intention of complying with the House select committee subpoena."
