The House select committee investigating the deadly Jan.

The subpoenas, which were also sent to former White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications Daniel Scavino and ex-Defense Department official Kashyap Patel, instruct the witnesses to produce materials by Oct.

The committee instructed Bannon and Patel to appear for depositions on Oct.

The subpoenas mark a sharp escalation in the committee's probe, which aims to deliver a definitive analysis of the Jan.

Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich in a statement claimed the "Communist-style" House committee's subpoenas were overbroad and lacking merit.

In another, much longer, statement sent later Thursday night, Trump criticized the committee and the Biden administration and repeated the false claim that the 2020 election he lost was "rigged" against him.

The letter also noted that Meadow had been in contact with organizers of the Jan.

As for Patel, a letter claimed that the committee has substantial reason to believe he has additional materials that can help them understand the role of the Department of Defense and the White House in preparing for and responding to the insurrection. 6
