NEW: The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot has issued its first subpoenas to four former senior Trump administration officials, including former Pres. Trump's longest-serving aide and last chief of staff.
The committee is seeking documents and 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.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.
The panel is demanding records be delivered by Oct. 7 and for all four witnesses to appear for closed-door depositions on Oct. 14 and 15.
