House committee on Capitol attack subpoenas Trump’s ex-chief of staff and other top aides

Mark Meadows, Steve Bannon and Dan Scavino among advisers called to testify over president's connection to 6 January events

The House select committee scrutinizing the Capitol attack on Thursday sent subpoenas to Trump's White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and a cadre of top Trump aides, demanding their testimony to shed light on the former president's connection to the 6 January riot.

The subpoenas and demands for depositions marked the most aggressive investigative actions the select committee has taken since it made records demands and records preservation requests that formed the groundwork of the inquiry into potential White House involvement.
