 Committee Subpoenas Pennsylvania House Speaker for Capitol Police Records

The House Select Committee investigating the January 6th attack on the US Capitol has issued a subpoena to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, requesting records related to the Capitol Police's response to the riot. The committee is seeking information on the police's communication and coordination with other law enforcement agencies during the attack.

The Subpoena

The subpoena was issued to Pennsylvania House Speaker Bryan Cutler, who is a Republican, and is seeking records related to the Capitol Police's response to the January 6th attack. The committee is seeking information on the police's communication and coordination with other law enforcement agencies during the attack, as well as any records related to the deployment of National Guard troops.

The subpoena is part of the committee's ongoing investigation into the events surrounding the January 6th attack, which was carried out by supporters of former President Donald Trump. The committee has already issued subpoenas to several other officials, including former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and former Attorney General Bill Barr.

The Investigation

The House Select Committee was formed in July 2021 to investigate the events surrounding the January 6th attack. The committee has been conducting hearings and gathering evidence for several months, and has already issued several subpoenas to officials and witnesses.

The committee's investigation is focused on determining what happened on January 6th, and who was responsible for the violence and property damage that occurred during the attack. The committee has also been looking into allegations of obstruction of justice and other crimes.

The Capitol Police

The Capitol Police are responsible for providing security at the US Capitol and other government buildings in Washington, D.C. On January 6th, they were tasked with responding to a large-scale riot that broke out on the steps of the Capitol building.

The police have been criticized for their response to the attack, with some accusing them of being slow to respond and inadequate in their preparation. The Department of Justice has launched an investigation into the police's actions during the attack, and several officers have been suspended or placed on leave.
