The congressional Jan. 6 Committee on Tuesday subpoenaed several new witnesses in its probe of the Capitol attack, including a prominent Republican lawyer who advised Donald Trump during his effort to steal a second term, and a One America News Network anchor who worked on the side for Rudy Giuliani.

...

The committee’s subpoena of Mitchell stated that its investigation “has revealed credible evidence that you publicly promoted claims that the 2020 election was stolen and participated in attempts to disrupt or delay the certification of the election results based on your allegations.”

...

In its subpoena issued to Christina Bobb, the One America News Network anchor, the committee cited reporting by Politico that Bobb was involved in some way in the drafting of a proposed executive order, never signed by Trump, directing federal agencies to seize voting machines across several states.

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol has subpoenaed Cleta Mitchell and five others they accuse of promoting baseless claims of election fraud and forwarding various efforts to unwind former President Trump's 2020 loss.

...

Mitchell, a conservative lawyer who helped the Trump campaign file a lawsuit challenging Georgia's election results, was on the now infamous phone call where Trump asked Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" enough votes to reverse President Biden's victory in the state.

...

The committee also subpoenaed Kenneth Chesebro, an attorney for the campaign in Wisconsin who the panel says "actively promoted legal theories within the Trump campaign supporting the use of slates of bogus electors."

And if they don't how many months or years pass before DOJ indicts them?

Subpoenas are useless now.
