Subpoenas for Kevin McCarthy and Jim Jordan 'not off the table': House riot committee chair

After voting on Monday night on criminal referrals for former Donald Trump White House aides Dan Scavino and Peter Navarro, the chairman of the House Select committee looking into the Jan. 6 Capitol riots indicated that they are not done and fellow House lawmakers belonging to the Republican Party may still be subpoenaed.

According to the report, Thompson was asked if recalcitrant GOP lawmakers who have been politely asked to speak to the committee about what they know about the events on the day of the insurrection might face a similar fate -- and he left the door open.
