State Sen. Doug Mastriano, currently seeking Pennsylvania's Republican gubernatorial nomination, is one of six people subpoenaed Tuesday by the House committee investigating the U.S. Capitol insurrection.
HARRISBURG, Pa. — A Pennsylvania state senator who was in regular communication with Donald Trump as the then-president sought to reverse his 2020 election loss, and was outside the U.S. Capitol the afternoon of the Jan. 6 rioting, was subpoenaed Tuesday by the congressional committee looking into the insurrection.
The Jan. 6 committee also noted his presence outside the Capitol the day of the insurrection, saying his public statements indicated “you witnessed ‘agitators … getting in the face of the police’ and ’agitators … start pushing the police up the Capitol steps.” Mastriano was among Trump’s most dedicated supporters during the 2020 campaign, and the night Trump’s loss became evident on Nov. 7, he addressed a few thousand disappointed Trump supporters outside the Pennsylvania Capitol.
During online chats with his growing cadre of supporters and admirers, Mastriano has repeatedly said he’s had regular, direct contact with Trump, boasting about having spoken with the then-president at least 15 times.
