investigating the deadly January 6 attack on the Capitol on Thursday issued subpoenas to four of former president Donald Trump's closest allies and aides, zeroing in his activities that day.
In letters informing the men of the subpoenas, committee Chairman Bennie Thompson asked for details of Mr. Trump's strategies and actions before and while an angry mob of his supporters stormed the Capitol. Patel was issued the subpoena because he was involved in discussions with senior Pentagon officials about Capitol security before and on January 6, according to defense department documents cited in the letter. Scavino is a focus of attention because of his proximity to the former president that day and his reported knowledge of the communications strategy of the president and his allies before and on January 6.
