The congressional committee probing the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and former President Donald Trump’s efforts to undo the 2020 election is seeking new evidence, just days before the next public hearing and as lawmakers push to complete an interim report next month.
A lawsuit filed over the weekend revealed that Robin Vos, the speaker of the Wisconsin Assembly, received a subpoena on Saturday to testify before the committee. Lawmakers expressed interest in a July phone call when Trump reportedly urged Vos to move to decertify President Joe Biden’s win in the state — a sign that the committee is exploring the timeline of Trump’s attempts to interfere with the election long after the events surrounding Jan. 6.
The subpoena called for Vos to appear for a deposition in-person or by video on Monday morning. The committee postponed the Monday deposition date, according to people familiar with the matter, who weren’t authorized to speak publicly. In the past, deposition dates in subpoenas from the committee have served as a jumping off point for negotiations.
