Six Donald Trump collaborators are investigated for the assault on the Capitol
Those in charge of carrying out the investigation of the assault on the Capitol on January 6, the Committee of the House of Representatives have issued six subpoenas for other collaborators of former United States President Donald Trump.
These six people mentioned have been responsible for Trump's election campaign in 2020 as well as the lawyer responsible for the tragedy of the former president to achieve annulment of the result of the presidential elections of November 2020, John Eastman, who will be held accountable.
John Eastman wanted to resort to the authority of Mike Pence as vice president to try to ignore the electoral results and thus disqualify the members of the Electoral College in different states through initiatives in state congresses.
Those cited by the House of Representatives
John Eastman, a lawyer for Donald Trump, has not been the only one cited, but in these citations they also include Jason Miller, who was one of the highest officials of the campaign, Bill Stepien, director of the electoral campaign of Donald Trump in 2020 or Angela McCallum, who was the former president's aide during the election campaign.
National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was also cited during Trump's term and who, according to the commission of inquiry, was at a meeting inside the White House in December where those present addressed the possible declaration of a national emergency to be able to manipulate the voting machines.
Flynn also reportedly suggested imposing Martial Law after the 2020 elections.
All these citations have pointed to a strategy planned by the environment of the former US president to try to ignore the results of the elections on the judicial and legislative fronts both at the federal and state levels.
According to the investigations, the Trump team wanted to disseminate information about an alleged electoral fraud. Just after knowing all these citations the president of the commission Bennie Thompson has explained the following through a statement:
"In the days before the January 6 attack on the Capitol was perpetuated, the advisers and closest allies of former President Donald Trump carried out a campaign to try to misinform about the elections and planned different activities for the Electoral College vote counting ".
"The commission needs to know each one of these details and all the efforts they made to collapse the elections, it is necessary to know with whom they spoke in the White House and in Congress, what connections the demonstrations that led to a riot had and who was the one who financed all this "has added Bennie Thompson.
Other of those mentioned has been the chief of the New York Police, Bernard Kerik during the term of Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump's lawyer. This is how Kerik is accused of having participated in a meeting in the war room held on January 5 at the Willard Hotel.
Keril would be the one who paid for the rooms in the operations center during the election. The meeting was attended by others of those mentioned on this occasion, Steve Bannon, who was the ideologue of the first campaign of the former President of the United States.
So far, the commission of inquiry has already issued subpoenas on five occasions, including those for White House personnel who were working on the day of the assault on the Capitol. It is known that more than 150 people have already appeared in the investigations into the assault.
