House Capitol attack committee subpoenas far-right leaders and groups

New subpoenas aim to uncover whether there was any coordination between the groups and the White House

The House select committee investigating the Capitol attack on Tuesday issued subpoenas to the leaders of the far-right Proud Boys and Oath Keepers militia, directly focusing for the first time on the instigators of the violence at the 6 January insurrection.

The subpoenas demanding documents and testimony targeted both the leaders of the paramilitary groups on the day of the Capitol attack that sought to stop the certification of Joe Biden's election win, as well as the organizations behind the groups.
