According to the New York Times, the Justice Department subpoenaed about 40 people over the past week and seized cell phone devices from two associates of Donald Trump.
The former White House deputy chief of staff for communications and a former New York City police commissioner are two of the people included in a flurry of new subpoenas. The January 6 interview was done by the committee.
The attorney did not reply to the request for comment. According to Timothy Parlatore, federal agents came to his client's house on Tuesday. He said that the subpoena was broad and nonspecific with a list of names.
Boris Epshteyn, a Trump lawyer who was subpoenaed by the January 6 committee, and Mike Roman, a former election operations director for the Trump campaign, had their electronic devices seized.
The two men could not be reached for comment.
According to The Times, the subpoenas seek broad information about the plot to interfere with the 2020 vote using a slate of fake electors and Trump's charity, Save America.
A source previously told CNN that the Department of Justice may be investigating whether people associated with Trump used baseless claims of election fraud to solicit donations.
The subpoena was related to the Trump campaign, according to Parlatore.
There was no response from the Justice Department.
There is a new round of subpoenas. The Times reported on Friday that Stephen Miller and Brian Jack were among more than a dozen people who were contacted by the DOJ.
A number of former Trump aides have been subpoenaed recently.
