调查1月6日国会大厦骚乱的众议院委员会发出了第一份传票周四会见了包括前总统在内的四名特朗普政府前高级官员唐纳德·特朗普美国任职时间最长的助手和最后一任参谋长。
委员会是寻找文件以及丹·斯卡维诺(Dan Scavino)和卡什·帕特尔(Kash Patel)的证词，前者是特朗普的球童出身的社交媒体大师，也是白宫高级助手——前幕僚长马克·梅多斯(Mark Meadows)，后者是保守派活动家史蒂夫·班农，后者是1月6日代理国防部长的幕僚长。
在这些信中，该小组表示，他们正在寻求特朗普在国会大厦骚乱之前、期间和之后的行动信息，这些行动涉及他推翻选举结果的运动。
委员会要求在10月7日之前提交记录，并要求所有四名证人在10月14日和15日出庭进行闭门证词。
D-Miss主席本尼·汤普森(Bennie Thompson)表示:“特别委员会有理由相信，您掌握了与了解导致并通报2021年1月6日国会大厦事件的重要活动相关的信息。，在给班农和斯卡维诺的信中写道。
该小组的成员誓言将采取积极行动，从特朗普轨道上的证人那里获得文件和记录，其中许多人有阻挠国会调查人员的历史。
加州民主党众议员亚当·希夫(Adam Schiff)周四告诉记者，特朗普的助手可能会藐视国会调查人员，“这是一个令人担忧的问题，但我们有以前没有的额外工具，包括一个司法部，当人们故意藐视强制程序时，该部可能愿意追究刑事藐视罪”。
特朗普在一份声明中承诺，“基于行政特权和其他理由”对抗传票，尽管并非每个收件人都是白宫或政府官员。
梅多斯是特朗普的最后一任幕僚长，他在1月6日之前、期间和之后都与特朗普关系密切，并参与了挑战选举结果的努力——参与了特朗普与佐治亚州国务卿布拉德·拉芬伯格(Brad Raffensberger)的通话，当时他多次敦促特朗普扭转总统选举结果。
梅多斯的一名助手拒绝就传票以及梅多斯是否会合作发表评论。
据该委员会援引从国防部获得的记录称，帕特尔曾是共和党的国会助手，在加入五角大楼之前曾在特朗普国家安全委员会工作，他参与了1月6日国会山选举投票计票的安全准备工作，并动员了对骚乱的反应。
该委员会在信中称，在帮助领导他的第一次总统竞选和在白宫短暂任职后，班农仍然是总统的外部顾问，他当时正在威拉德酒店参加一个会议，会上鼓励立法者质疑选举结果。
该小组在信中引用了他播客中1月5日的一集“作战室”，称他说“明天所有的地狱都会爆发。”
该委员会在信中声称，特朗普任期最长的助手、社交媒体上最激烈的捍卫者之一斯卡维诺，在暴徒冲击国会大厦前后，一直与特朗普在一起。引用报道来自“危险”新书《华盛顿邮报》记者鲍勃·伍德沃德和罗伯特·科斯塔。
他还利用自己的推特宣传1月6日在华盛顿举行的支持特朗普的示威活动。在国会议员试图正式确认选举结果时，白宫外的一些活动参与者随后在国会大厦游行并冲击国会。
Jan. 6 select committee sends first subpoenas to former Trump aides, advisers
The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riotissued its first subpoenasThursday to four former senior Trump administration officials, including former PresidentDonald Trump's longest-serving aide and last chief of staff.
The committee isseeking documentsand depositions from Dan Scavino -- Trump's caddy-turned-social media guru and senior White House aide -- former chief of staff Mark Meadows, conservative activist Steve Bannon and Kash Patel, who was the chief of staff for the acting defense secretary on Jan. 6.
In the letters, the panel said it was seeking information about Trump's actions before, during and after the Capitol riot regarding his campaign to overturn the election results.
The committee is demanding records be delivered by Oct. 7, and for all four witnesses to appear for closed-door depositions on Oct. 14 and 15.
"The Select Committee has reason to believe that you have information relevant to understanding the important activities that led to and informed the events at the Capitol on January 6, 2021," Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., wrote in letters to Bannon and Scavino.
The panel's members have vowed to move aggressively to obtain documents and records from witnesses in Trump's orbit, many of whom have a history of stonewalling congressional investigators.
"That is a concern, but we have additional tools that we didn't before, including a Justice Department that may be willing to pursue criminal contempt when people deliberately flout the compulsory process," Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., told reporters Thursday about the possibility of Trump aides defying congressional investigators.
Trump, in a statement, pledged to fight the subpoenas "on executive privilege and other grounds," though not every recipient was a White House or administration official.
Meadows, who was Trump's last chief of staff, was close to Trump before, during and after Jan. 6, and was involved in efforts to challenge the election results -- participating in Trump's call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger when he repeatedly urged him to reverse the presidential election results.
A Meadows aide declined to comment on the subpoena and whether Meadows would cooperate.
Patel, a former GOP congressional aide who worked in the Trump National Security Council before joining the Pentagon, was involved in security preparations for the Jan. 6 counting of the electoral vote on Capitol Hill and mobilizing the response to the riot, according to the committee, citing records obtained from the Defense Department.
Bannon, who remained an outside adviser to the president after helping to lead his first presidential campaign and a short stint in the White House, was at a meeting at the Willard Hotel where lawmakers were encouraged to challenge the election results, the committee claimed in its letter.
He was quoted as saying, "All hell is going to break loose tomorrow," the panel wrote in its letter, citing a Jan. 5 episode of his podcast, "War Room."
Scavino, Trump's longest-serving aide and one of his fiercest defenders on social media, was with Trump before and after rioters stormed the Capitol, the committee claimed in its letter,citing reportingfrom "Peril,"the new bookby Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.
He also used his Twitter feed to promote the Jan. 6 demonstration in Washington in support of Trump. Some attendees of that event outside the White House later marched on the Capitol and stormed Congress as lawmakers attempted to officially affirm the election results.
