Jan. 6 panel subpoenas Kevin McCarthy, 4 other GOP House members
The House committee scrutinizing the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol has subpoenaed House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and four other prominent conservative members after they refused to voluntarily comply with its requests for information.
“Unfortunately, you declined voluntary cooperation, and we are left with no choice but to issue you this subpoena,”The committee has debated privately for months over subpoenaing fellow House members who refuse to cooperate, questioning whether to set such a precedent — particularly given time constraints, the potential for a lengthy legal battle and the strong chance that Republicans could regain control of the House after the midterm election.
Hearings are scheduled to begin June 9 and are expected to last several weeks. The committee has completed more than 1,000 witness interviews. The panel wants to speak with McCarthy about his communication with Trump before, during and after the attack, according to its letter to the minority leader.
