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.

“The select committee wants to learn every detail of what went on in the White House on Jan. 6th and in the days beforehand,” said Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the head of the committee. “We need to know precisely what role the former president and his aides played in efforts to stop the counting of the electoral votes, and if they were in touch with anyone outside the White House attempting to overturn the outcome of the election.”

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.
