Committee probing deadly Capitol riot seeks interviews, documents from activists who organised former president’s rally.
A US congressional committee investigating the January 6 insurrection at the United States Capitol building has issued subpoenas to organisers of a rally former President Donald Trump held just before the deadly riot.
The House of Representatives Select Committee investigating the insurrection issued subpoenas on Wednesday to 11 individuals involved in organising Trump’s rally, during which he gave a fiery speech claiming the 2020 election had been stolen.
Thousands of Trump supporters then stormed the US Capitol, disrupting Congress’s certification of Joe Biden as the winner of the vote – and the US House later impeached Trump for “incitement of insurrection” in relation to the violence.
