3. Jan. 6 panel subpoenas four ex-Trump aides Bannon, Meadows

The special committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol on Thursday sent subpoenas to four former advisers to former President Trump, including chief of staff Mark Meadows and strategist Steve Bannon.

The letters were also sent to Dan Scavino, Trump's deputy chief of staff for communications, and Kashyap Patel, the chief of staff to then-acting Secretary of Defense Chrishoper Miller and a former House staffer.

All four have all been asked to appear for a deposition in mid-October.

The committee letters suggest that the four top Trump aides were involved in the effort to overturn the 2020 election and activities related to Jan. 6.

Subpoenas haven't worked for the past 5 years.

Bannon should already be arrested. He publicly admitted he helped plan a coup to overthrow Democracy.
