The Jan. 6 Capitol Riot probe committee subpoenaed Kayleigh McEnany, Stephen Miller, and other ex-White House officials for testimony and relevant documents.
McEnany was not the only ex-official to be subpoenaed. Also, John McEntee (ex-White House personnel director), Christopher Liddell (ex-Deputy Chief of Staff Christopher Liddell) and Keith Kellogg (ex-Vice President Mike Pence’s national security adviser) were among those who issued subpoenas.
Other subpoena recipients include Nicholas Luna, who was a personal assistant to President Donald Trump; Cassidy Hutchinson who was his special assistant in legislative affairs; Kenneth Klukowski who was formerly senior counsel to Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark; Benjamin Williamson who served a senior advisor to White House Chief Of Staff Mark Meadows and Molly Michael who served the Oval Office operations coordinator
This latest round of subpoenas was issued a day after six Trump allies were subpoenaed by the same panel.
The committee announced the subpoenas by noting that McEnany had made "multiple public statements from the White House, and elsewhere, about purported fraud in November 2020."
According to the panel, McEnany claimed at the White House's first press conference following the 2020 election that there were "very real claims" of fraud being pursued by the former President. He also stated that mail-in voting was something they had identified as being especially vulnerable to fraud. "
The panel stated that McEnany was also present with former President at times as he watched the attack on January 6.
Representative Bennie Thompson (a Mississippi Democrat) is the chairman of the probe panel. He stated in a statement that the Select Committee wanted to know every detail about what happened at the White House on January 6th, and the days before.
Thompson stated that it was important to determine the role of the former President and his aides in the efforts to stop the count of the electoral votes. He also asked Thompson if they had any contact with anyone outside of the White House trying to reverse the election outcome.
"We believe that the witnesses subpoenaed today possess relevant information. We expect them to fully comply with the Select Committee’s investigation as they work to get answers to the American people, make recommendations to amend the law to preserve our democracy and ensure that nothing like January 6th never happens again."
Monday's subpoenas went to Michael Flynn (ex-Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller) and John Eastman (lawyer). John Eastman wrote a controversial memo arguing the former Vice President Mike Pence had the ability to reject the Electoral College win of Joe Biden at a joint session on January 6.
Others who were subpoenaed Monday included Bill Stepien who managed Trump's unsuccessful re-election campaign, Angela McCallum, the campaign executive assistant, and Bernard Kerik, former New York City Police Commissioner. Kerik was also reported to have been a participant in a Washington meeting where Trump allies discussed possible efforts to reverse Biden's victory.
