WASHINGTON, March 1 (Reuters) - 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 legal team, a statement from the panel said.
Subpoenas also were sent to Trump campaign attorney Kenneth Chesebro, Washington lobbyist and attorney Katherine Friess, Kurt Olsen, a private attorney who contacted Department of Justice officials on Trump's behalf, and Phillip Kline, the former attorney general of Kansas.
"The Select Committee is seeking information about attempts to disrupt or delay the certification of electoral votes and any efforts to corruptly change the outcome of the 2020 election," Democratic Representative Bennie Thompson, chairman of the Jan. 6 Select Committee, said in a statement.

This faux committee has less than 30 weeks.
The first sentence of the article tipped off their bias.
Hurry up, January 6th commission. Tick tock, tick tock.
November 8, 2022 is coming up fast...
Criminalizing differences of opinion? Has Congress passed a law making it illegal to question whether fraud has influenced an election?
January 6th commission think this crap will Win the next election for the democrats
It's only 'far' to the On-The-Left-Edge propaganda organ for the globalist kleptocracy oligarchy. Reuters is the presstitute factory.
Six? What about the other more than 80,000,000 people 'guilty' of the same crime.
Now they want to prosecute anyone they deem a thought criminal, in this case anyone who denies the validity of an obviously stolen election. Just when you think it can’t get even more Orwellian...
This may backfire. There is plenty of evidence out there.
They’re asking for it.
What’s to stop a GOP controlled Congress from establishing a future investigation of Ob0zo and Holder, for inflammatory rhetoric that incited BLM and individual militant radicals into attacking cops?
The communists are on an (apparently) unstoppable roll...
The purge continues to grow exponentially with, apparently, the full support of the american people...
History will not be kind to a nation of citizens who surrendered their freedoms & liberties without real resistance...
As planned by the marxists in the late 1800s, conquest of the U.S. and capitalism could only be accomplished by gaining control of the country,s education system...
This happened in the 1960s and permanently cemented in 1970 when the serfs handed over their offspring to the communists via “busing”...
The indoctrination of the next several generations was easily accomplished...
Or what’s to stop a Republican Congress from investigating everyone in the media who falsely claimed that Trump “stole” the 2016 election with the help of Russia?
Oh, that’s right, the Republicans would stop themselves, because that wouldn’t be gentlemanly and in a spirit of bipartisanship.
Looks like a real nice Roadmap for the Republican Controlled House to use for the 2016 election...
Right, it would require a dramatic shift in the GOPe, perhaps a rebranding of the whole party after true conservatives take over (maybe helped by some red-pilled libertarians). Step by step, it will eventually happen. Not soon, but it will.
I have been saying that Putin made a big mistake in his Ukraine adventure and I stick by that.
I am now saying that this faux, risible committee will suffer the same egg on face result.
Now, if someone can help me delete the list of “favorites” that is running across the top of my page in EDGE, which I hate, I would be very grateful.
You must not question the official narrative. Doing so is not correct thinking. If you fail to comply you will be sent to an undisposed location for re-education.
Orwell’s 1984 was prophetic.
“Criminalizing differences of opinion?”
This is exactly what it is.
“Has Congress passed a law making it illegal to question whether fraud has influenced an election?”
They don’t care about law.
When are these democratic clowns going to quit?
False election claims, we know the truth. the election was stolen period
