The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol incited by former President Donald Trump has issued subpoenas to another half-dozen of his associates, including top Trump campaign aides and the author of the now-infamous memo advising then-Vice President Mike Pence to simply declare Trump the winner of the 2020 election.
John Eastman, who wrote that Pence had the unilateral authority to give Trump a second term despite Trump’s loss, former campaign manager Bill Stepien and former campaign strategist Jason Miller have all been subpoenaed, as has former national security adviser and pardoned felon Michael Flynn, who advised Trump to declare martial law and force states to rerun their elections.
