The committee investigating the Capitol attack expanded its witness list. Subpoenas went to House Republicans, including McCarthy, Jordan, Perry, Biggs, and Brooks.
This was escalation. Lawmakers being asked to testify against their own colleagues, against the leader of their party.
The refusals came quickly. Lawyers questioned authority. Defiance was predictable. But the subpoenas weren’t just about testimony—they were markers in history.
Documents already showed:
- Trump pushed DOJ officials to declare the election corrupt.
- Members of Congress coordinated strategies to delay certification.
- White House staff drafted plans to seize voting machines.
Every subpoena is a record that attempts to nullify an election didn’t stop on January 6. They continued in halls of power. The committee’s challenge is turning records into accountability before midterms turn the lights off.
