The 1/6 Committee has issued 11 new subpoenas targeting people who organized the Trump rally and promoted the 1/6 rally.
Today, Chairman Bennie G. Thompson announced that the Select Committee has issued subpoenas for deposition testimony and records to individuals tied to the events and rallies leading up to the January 6th insurrection, including the January 6th rally at the Ellipse that immediately preceded the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol. The subpoenas were sent to 11 individuals as part of the Select Committee’s efforts to collect information from them and their associated entities on the planning, organization, and funding of those events. In letters to rally organizers, Chairman Thompson instructed witnesses to testify at depositions and to produce a sweeping range of records.
“The Select Committee is investigating the facts, circumstances, and causes of the January 6th attack and issues relating to the peaceful transfer of power, in order to identify and evaluate lessons learned and to recommend to the House and its relevant committees corrective laws, policies, procedures rules, or regulations. The inquiry includes examination of how various individuals and entities coordinated their activities leading up to the events of January 6, 2021,” wrote Chairman Thompson.
Women for America First (WFAF) organized the January 6th, 2021 rally on the Ellipse, rallies at Freedom Plaza on November 14th and December 12th, 2020, and two “March for Trump” nationwide bus tours that generated interest and attendance at the Washington rallies, according to documents provided to the Select Committee regarding permits for the January 5th and 6th rallies as well as public information.
The subpoenas seek a range of records that include materials dealing with the planning, funding, and participation in the events and bus tours; social media activity of associated entities; and communications with or involvement of Trump Administration officials and lawmakers. The Select Committee issued subpoenas for records from the following individuals and their associated entities, and has instructed the individuals to testify at depositions:
- Amy Kremer, founder and Chair of WFAF.
- Kylie Kremer, founder and Executive Director of WFAF.
- Cynthia Chafian, submitted the first permit application on behalf of WFAF for the January 6th rally, and founder of the Eighty Percent Coalition.

The 1/6 Committee Is Looking At The Rallies In Connection To The Capitol Attack.
It is interesting that the committee wants to hear from rally organizers who had communicated with Trump. The Committee is clearly looking into whether the rallies were used to organize and draw a crowd to the Capitol for the purpose of trying to overthrow the election.
The Committee is connecting the dots. The Republican story is that the rally and the attack were a coincidence. The two were unrelated. It was just a few people in a crowd that “behaved like tourists.”
The 1/6 Committee is looking at something that was potentially much more sinister. The question is was the rally held to mass Trump supporters for an attack?
The answer to that question will reveal how deep and detailed Trump’s sedition plot went.
