The congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob has issued a subpoena to Peter Navarro, who was the White House trade adviser under President Donald Trump.
Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss.), chairman of the bipartisan committee, said in a statement Wednesday that Navarro appears to have information directly relevant to the panels investigation.
Thompson added that Navarro hasnt been shy about his role in efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election and has even discussed the former Presidents support for those plans.
The subpoena is the latest move by the committee to seek information as part of its investigation into last years insurrection. Last month, it subpoenaed members of Trumps outside legal team who pursued and disseminated unfounded claims of mass election fraud, including Trumps former personal attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani, former White House aide Boris Epshteyn, and lawyers Jenna Ellis and Sidney Powell.
