The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot issued subpoenas on Tuesday to Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, and Boris Epshteyn.
"The Select Committee is looking into the causes that contributed to the violence on January 6th, including attempts to promote unsupported claims of election fraud and pressure campaigns to overturn the 2020 election results," Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) said in a press release announcing the subpoenas.
"The four individuals we’ve subpoenaed today advanced unsupported theories about election fraud, pushed efforts to overturn the election results, or were in direct contact with the former President about attempts to stop the counting of electoral votes," Thompson wrote.
The committee similar language in all of the subpoenas. Each person as accused of having "publically promoted claims that the 2020 election was stolen and participated in attempts to disrupt or delay the certification of the election results based on your allegations."
All four participated in a Nov. 19, 2020, press conference at the Republican National Committee headquarters, in Washington, D.C., to discuss possible legal actions after the election.
