WASHINGTON — The House committee investigating the Capitol riot sent subpoenas to a group of people from seven states Joe Biden won in the 2020 presidential election who allegedly submitted fake slates of Electoral College votes for Donald Trump.
The 14 subpoenas were sent to those listed as chairperson and secretary for each group of purported alternate electors for Trump. The select committee says it has information that groups met on Dec. 14, 2020, in seven states Biden won — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — and submitted bogus slates of Electoral College votes for Trump. They transmitted purported Electoral College certificates to Congress, which were used by those advising Trump or his campaign to justify delaying or blocking the certification of Biden’s victory, according to the committee.
The following individuals received subpoenas Friday demanding they produce documents and appear for a deposition in February.
