Five Republican Members of U.S. House Get The Letter
Chairman Bennie G. Thompson announced Thursday, 2022.05.12, that the Select Committee has subpoenaed Representatives Kevin McCarthy, Scott Perry, Jim Jordan, Andy Biggs, and Mo Brooks for deposition testimony as part of the committee’s investigation into the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol and its causes. The Select Committee is subpoenaing five members who have previously been invited to appear voluntarily before the committee because the committee has reason to believe that they have relevant knowledge of the events on or leading up to January 6th and activities related to the transfer of power.
Chairman Thompson released the following statement:
“The Select Committee has learned that several of our colleagues have information relevant to our investigation into the attack on January 6th and the events leading up to it. Before we hold our hearings next month, we wished to provide members the opportunity to discuss these matters with the committee voluntarily. Regrettably, the individuals receiving subpoenas today have refused and we’re forced to take this step to help ensure the committee uncovers facts concerning January 6th. We urge our colleagues to comply with the law, do their patriotic duty, and cooperate with our investigation as hundreds of other witnesses have done.”
