Trump news - live: Jan 6 committee evidence leaks as Hillary Clinton attacks ‘seditious’ Fox News

Jamie Raskin doesn’t say whether the Jan 6 Committee will get Mike Pence to testify

Steve Bannon’s lawyers have subpoenaed House speaker Nancy Pelosi and members of the Select Committee investigating the 6 January riots.

Mr Bannon, who once served as former president Donald Trump's chief strategist, was indicted in November 2021 by a federal grand jury for his refusal to comply with a subpoena to testify and produce documents.

Now, he is seeking to subpoena the January 6 committee as part of his challenge to whether the panel was properly formed.

His legal team has subpoenaed 16 lawmakers and congressional staffers to testify at the July trial and produce documents. The subpoenas were aimed at all nine members of the select committee that is investigating the Capitol building riots, three committee staffers and the general counsel for the House of Representatives Douglas Letter, CNN reported.

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton has laid into Fox News for its decision not to broadcast the 6 January select committee’s upcoming hearings, tweeting that “Fox News won't air the January 6 hearings because they prefer their sedition made fresh on-site”.
