Pursuant to the authorities set forth in House Resolution 503 and the rules of the House of
Representatives, the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States
Capitol (“Select Committee”) hereby transmits a subpoena that compels you to produce the
documents set forth in the accompanying schedule by March 15, 2022, and to appear for a
deposition on March 22, 2022.
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 Select Committee’s investigation has revealed credible evidence that you participated
in attempts to disrupt or delay the certification of the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Between November 2020 and January 6, 2021 (and thereafter), you actively promoted legal
theories within the Trump campaign supporting the use of alternate slates of electors in states that
former President Trump had lost.1 You also participated in efforts that you told the Trump
campaign would “bolster[]” the argument for delaying the electoral certification and make the
public “believe[e] that the election in [Wisconsin] was likely rigged, and stolen by Biden and
Harris, who were not legitimately elected.”2
Accordingly, the Select Committee seeks documents and a deposition regarding these and
other matters that are within the scope of the Select Committee’s inquiry. A copy of the rules
