The Democratic-led House select committee investigating the Jan.6 riot at the U.S. Capitol has issued a new wave of subpoenas on Thursday for a right-wing group, « Stop the Steal » and several of its members, including far-right activist Ali Alexander. The panel is seeking testimony and records from Alexander and Nathan Martin. Both are connected to permit applications for the rally that preceded the deadly attack on the Capitol. The committee has also issued a subpoena to the « Stop the Steal » group seeking records. « The rally on the Capitol grounds on January 6th, like the rally near the White House that day, immediately preceded the violent attack on the seat of our democracy, » said Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., in a statement. « Over the course of that day, demonstrations escalated to violence and protestors became rioters. The Select Committee needs to understand all the details about the events that came before the attack, including who was involved in planning and funding them.
