The panel also subpoenaed Judd Deere, who worked as a spokesman for Trump’s White House, NBC News reported, citing a source familiar with the matter.
The source told NBC News cited Deere’s potential first-hand knowledge of Trump’s conduct before and while the Capitol was under attack on Jan. 6, 2021. That includes Trump “repeatedly asking [during a Jan 5th meeting]: ‘What are your ideas for getting the RINOs [Republicans in Name Only] to do the right thing tomorrow? How do we convince Congress?,'” NBC reported.
When a mob of Trump supporters invaded the Capitol on Jan. 6, a joint session of Congress was meeting to confirm the Elector College results, which showed that President Joe Biden had won the 2020 presidential election.
The committee earlier said Friday it wants information from people who met and submitted false Electoral College certificates purporting to show that Trump had won in seven states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
In reality, Biden had won the popular vote in all of those states, and thus was awarded their slates of electors in the Electoral College.
