Riot Panel Subpoenas OAN Anchor And Five Others

Reuters reports:

The congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol said on Tuesday it had issued subpoenas to six people who promoted false claims that the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent and participated in, or encouraged, actions based on those false claims.

The individuals subpoenaed included Cleta Mitchell, a lawyer who advised former President Donald Trump, and Christina Bobb, a reporter for the far right One America News Network who also worked part time for the Trump recount legal team, a statement from the panel said.

Cleta Mitchell first appeared on JMG a decade ago with she teamed up with NOM to battle same-sex marriage. In 2011, now-Fox host Tammy Bruce quit the homocon group GOProud after its co-founder Chris Barron called Mitchell a “bigot” for opposing GOProud’s presence at that year’s CPAC.

The Committee is seeking information about attempts to disrupt the certification of electoral votes and any efforts to corruptly change the outcome of the 2020 election. The 6 individuals we’ve subpoenaed today all have knowledge related to those matters.https://t.co/8oherYTNfH
