WASHINGTON (AP) — House investigators say they have issued subpoenas to Ohio Republican Congressman Jim Jordan and four other GOP lawmakers as part of their probe into the violent Jan. 6 insurrection.
It’s an extraordinary step that has little precedent and is certain to further inflame partisan tensions over the 2021 attack.
The Jan. 6 panel’s subpoenas for House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy of California and Republican Reps. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Andy Biggs of Arizona and Mo Brooks of Alabama come as the investigation is winding down and as the panel prepares for a series of public hearings this summer.
