Representative Andy Biggs of Arizona is the latest House Republican to formally object to being subpoenaed to testify before a congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol.
“I have major concerns regarding the illegitimate Jan. 6 Committee’s subpoena deposition request,” Biggs tweeted Sunday. He attached a letter from two lawyers detailing his objections.
The letter to panel chairman Bennie Thompson, dated May 25, echoes some assertions by GOP Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio, two of four other House Republicans who have been subpoenaed. Biggs similarly demands responses from the committee without flat-out rejecting cooperation.
