The House committee probing the Capitol insurrection has done work that has yet to be made public in the midst of their investigation. A report by the Huffington Post revealed that the panel has quietly issued a number of subpoenas to key figures in former President Donald Trump’s circle.
The outlet reported this week suggests that the panel has made a lot more progress than what is currently known, with the committee having quietly issued a number of subpoenas to figures who worked under the Trump administration. This means that the progress that has been made public by the committee, such as receiving the cooperation of Mike Pence’s top aide Marc Short, and the initial cooperation of the former president’s chief of staff Mark Meadows is only a few of many.
“While we’ve announced roughly 40 subpoenas, the select committee has heard from 275 witnesses, both individuals complying with subpoenas and those participating in the investigation voluntarily,” said an aide familiar with the matter to the outlet’s reporter S.V. Date.
“We’ve taken in more than 30,000 pages of records, received hundreds of tips, and are making rapid progress in this phase of our investigation,” said the aide.
To note, the House Committee had already requested telecommunications companies to preserve records of certain individuals back in August. However, it was when Meadows’ lawyer told the panel that he will no longer cooperate with the committee that Meadows was confirmed to be among the individuals. Meadows recently walked back his cooperation with the panel, saying that the committee does not respect the former president’s claim of executive privilege.
Trump’s claim of executive privilege was waived by Joe Biden’s White House, authorizing the National Archives to turn over related records to the panel. Trump, however, has sought to block the archives from doing so in the courts.
In other related news, an alleged Capitol insurrectionist and his wife are facing charges of child endangerment when they reportedly hid from the FBI in a travel trailer in the Nevada foothills. A report by ABC affiliate in Reno revealed that insurrectionist Josiah Kenyon, known for participating in the insurrection wearing a Jack Skellington costume from “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” and his wife Elizabeth Kenyon and their two children were discovered by two Sherriff’s deputies.
When the deputies learned that Kenyon was wanted by the FBI, they set up a stop sign and arrested Kenyon and his wife on federal charges. Both the couple and their children were reportedly citing the sovereign citizen rhetoric.
