Jan. 6 panel issues new subpoenas for Eastman, top Trump aides

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol sent a number of subpoenas Monday, including to top 2020 Trump campaign aides and the lawyer responsible for crafting the strategy of how the former president could seek to overturn the election results in Congress.

Among the six subpoenas released is one for John Eastman, who drafted a memo advising the Trump campaign both to use supposed vice presidential authority to push back on election results and to get state legislatures to reject electors from certain states in order to deny President Biden a majority of the Electoral College vote.
