WASHINGTON — Six people allegedly involved in promoting falsified elector slates backing former President Donald Trump were subpoenaed Tuesday to testify to the House committee investigating last year’s insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Those subpoenaed include former Trump campaign aides Michael Roman and Gary Michael Brown. The others are: Kelli Ward, chair of the Arizona Republican Party; Mark Finchem, an Arizona state House member; Douglas Mastriano, a Pennsylvania state senator; and former Michigan GOP Chair Laura Cox.
The committee has been focusing on the false claims that Trump and his allies pushed about the election outcome and how that played roles in stoking the violence on Jan. 6, 2021.
