US Capitol riot committee issues subpoena to Rudy GiulianiThe House of Representatives committee demanded Mr Giuliani and three others hand over documents and sit for depositions on 8 February.
Mr Giuliani travelled the US after the 2020 election to promote the baseless claim that Mr Trump had won the vote.
The riot on 6 January 2021 was stoked by falsehoods about mass voter fraud.
Subpoenas were issued on Tuesday to three other Trump associates:
Bennie Thompson, the Democratic lawmaker who is leading the House select committee, said in a statement that all four aides "advanced unsupported theories about election fraud, pushed efforts to overturn the election results, or were in direct contact with the former president about attempts to stop the counting of electoral votes".
It is not clear whether the four of them intend to comply with the committee. If they refuse, they could be held in contempt of Congress and face possible criminal prosecution.
The subpoena calls on Mr Giuliani - a longtime ally of Mr Trump - to submit a sworn testimony and provide documents.
The document charges that Mr Giuliani and Ms Powell urged Mr Trump to seize voting machines around the country after being informed by the Department of Homeland Security that it "had no lawful authority to do so".........
