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."
