The House Select Jan. 6 Committee investigating last year’s attack on the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters, white supremacists and militia members is “looking into” issuing subpoenas to obstinate Republican members of Congress to force their cooperation, the panel’s chairman said on Sunday.
Representative Bennie Thompson, a Democrat, said on NBC’s “Meet The Press” that the committee is examining whether it can lawfully issue subpoenas to sitting members of Congress.
