The committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot released 11 new subpoenas Wednesday night, targeting the spokesperson for former President Trump’s campaign and a host of other individuals involved in planning the rally where he spoke shortly before his supporters attacked the Capitol.
The committee is seeking documents and testimony from Katrina Pierson, a spokesperson for Trump’s 2016 campaign, as well as Maggie Mulvaney, a niece of former acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney.
Each of the 11 individuals is identified by the committee as having been involved with the Women for America First-sponsored rally where Trump spoke on Jan. 6.
“You assisted in organizing the rally held on the Ellipse in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 6, 2021, in support of then-President Trump and his allegation of election fraud. President Trump spoke at the January 6th rally shortly before the attack on the Capitol, urging the crowd to ‘fight much harder’ and to ‘stop the steal,’” the committee wrote in letters to each.
The subpoenas seek a range of records that include materials dealing with the planning, funding, and participation in the rally, as well as other events organized by Women for America First, including two “March for Trump” nationwide bus tours.
“According to press reports those working with you and [Women for America First] WFAF to organize the Jan. 6 rally collectively communicated with President Trump, White House officials, including Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and others about the rally and other events planned to coincide with the certification of the 2020 Electoral College results,” each letter states.
The letters, the second set of subpoenas issued by the committee, were sent in the span of a week from those issued to several former Trump aides, including Meadows.
