Capitol attack panel subpoenas author of PowerPoint plan for coup

Trump operative who outlined Options for 6 Jan' met with the president's chief of staff repeatedly before the Capitol riot

The House select committee investigating the Capitol attack on Thursday subpoenaed Trump operative Phil Waldron, the retired colonel whose PowerPoint recommending Donald Trump declare a national emergency to return himself to office was sent to the White House chief of staff.

The subpoena to Waldron, demanding documents and testimony, marks the select committee's focus on the PowerPoint and the extent that the document's recommendations - as reported by the Guardian - were considered by the White House or the former president himself.
