Jan. 6 committee subpoenas 2020 'alternate electors' for Trump

The House select committee investigating the Capitol riot announced Friday subpoenas against more than a dozen people involved in devising Electoral College certificates that falsely declared former President Donald Trump the winner across several states in the 2020 election.

The committee wants a deposition and documents from those 14 officials who participated as “alternate electors” for Trump in states won by President Joe Biden to learn why the certificates were made, who was behind the scheme, and whether any of the officials had any involvement in the Jan. 6 riot on Capitol Hill.
