The House committee investigating the January 6 insurrection has issued five new subpoenas, this time targeting right-wing extremist groups including the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys.
The subpoenas went to the Proud Boys and its leader Enrique Tarrio, as well as the Oath Keepers and its leader Stewart Rhodes. Dozens of members of both groups have been charged in the attack on the US Capitol, and prosecutors have said they conspired ahead of time to disrupt the Electoral College proceedings. The panel also subpoenaed Robert Patrick Lewis, chairman of 1st Amendment Praetorian, a group that the committee says provided security at"multiple rallies leading up to January 6.
""We believe the individuals and organizations we subpoenaed today have relevant information about how violence erupted at the Capitol and the preparation leading up to this violent attack," Rep. Bennie Thompson, the Mississippi Democrat who chairs the committee, said in a statement.Several dozen subpoenas have already been issued as part of the investigation, with mixed success.
