WASHINGTON - Stephen Miller and Kayleigh McEnany, aides to former President Donald Trump, were among 10 more administration officials subpoenaed Tuesday by the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Trump has sued to prevent the National Archives and Records Administration from providing documents to the committee. He has urged advisers such as political strategist Steve Bannon, to defy their subpoenas.

But the committee is investigating what led up to the Capitol riot Jan. 6 that injured 140 police officers and temporarily halted the counting of Electoral College votes that confirmed President Joe Biden won the election.

The latest subpoenas target Miller, a former senior adviser to Trump, for allegedly spreading false information about the 2020 election and encouraging state legislatures to appoint alternate slates of electors, according to the committee. McEnany, the former White House press secretary, made multiple false statements about purported fraud in the election, the committee said.

Trump issued a statement accusing the committee of being "politically ambitious hacks." He continued to espouse unfounded allegations of election fraud in Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia. 

A new Suffolk University/USA TODAY poll found a majority of Americans think Trump and his aides should testify.

The subpoenas Tuesday came after six others were issued Monday targeting Trump lawyer John Eastman and others in the former president's inner circle.

Others who were subpoenaed Tuesday are:
