Representative Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that it is “possible” the House Select Committee investigating the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, will send out more subpoenas for members of the House and Senate.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Andy Biggs(R-AZ), Mo Brooks (R-AL) and Scott Perry (R-PA) were subpoenaed today.
Lofgren said, “We had hoped that these members would come in upon request. If you look historically, mostly if committees want to talk to a fellow member and they ask them, and they come in. That didn’t happen in this case. Now we have information from other sources that lead us to believe that each one of these individuals who are colleagues have information the committee needs.”
She added, “We have interviewed over a thousand people. We’ve got hundreds, over hundreds, thousands of documents, we have a lot of information that leads to certain conclusions. But these members were in the meetings. They were the ones that had the conversations. We want them to come in and tell what they know. This is a great opportunity for them to do that. And now it is a legal obligation for them to do that.”
Anchor Nicolle Wallace asked, “Could there be more subpoenas for other members of House and or Senate?”
Lofgren said, “It’s possible.”
