WASHINGTON — The House panel investigating the U.S. Capitol insurrection is demanding records and testimony from a former White House aide they say helped draft former President Donald Trump’s Jan. 6 speech, along with two others it says were in communication with people close to Trump. Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, Democratic chairman of the panel, issued subpoenas on Tuesday to Andy Surabian and Arthur Schwartz, strategists who advised Donald Trump Jr., and Ross Worthington, a former White House official who the committee says helped draft the speech Trump gave at the rally directly preceding last year’s attack.
“We have reason to believe the individuals we’ve subpoenaed today have relevant information and we expect them to join the more than 340 individuals who have spoken with the Select Committee as we push ahead to investigate this attack on our democracy and ensure nothing like this ever happens again,” Thompson said in a letter Tuesday.Worthington is a former Trump White House and campaign aide who served as a speechwriter and policy adviser.
It would be nice to be able to read the former's speech. I don't watch TV. At what time he gave the speech?

The White House records are central to prosecuting Donald Trump for planning and leading the 1/6 attempted coup. Biden and two appeals courts have already blocked Trump's appeal TWICE. If Trump is not prosecuted for planning 1/6, pro-Trump terrorism will continue.
Investigate the FBI's Fake kidnapping plot of Governor Gretchen they got caught trying to pull off. And how it closely mirrors the 1/6 FEDSURRECTION.
The committee will search with our money till they spend every penny ...
Speech writers. 😂
The January 6th committee is a joke. They are withholding key evidence of Pelosi's responsibility for the chaos. She blocked the use of National Guard troops that President Trump authorized so that he could look bad from a handful of bad actors. She hates your freedom that much
How can American politicians and big capitalists talk about the election! Isn't that a joke?
Are there any riots in the United States? Isn't the appeal of the people in front of the Capitol exactly what American democracy should protect? The United States can even cheat in the 2020 presidential election. 报错 笔记
So now Republicans are gonna blame the attack on a speech writer? ...Another fall guy for Trump
The Pelosi Circus continues - no different from the Trump-Russia Collusion farce that lasted 4 years. It’s all the Democrats are clinging to while they let the country decline.
The aide, Ross Worthington, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Word is that he was busy drafting his speech.
This committee could save time & taxpayer money by just having every employee who served in Trump administration come to committee for testimony. They just keep digging hoping they will finally get condemning evidence.
Why is it called an insurrection when no one was charged with an insurrection?
_Politics All of a sudden, the committee released a statement saying Ray Epps told them, months ago, he was not a member of or in the employ of any law enforcement agency on Jan 6. Why now? Was the statement made under oath? Why is he not being called to testify under oath? Transcript?
I think even democrats are getting bored with this. There was too much coverage of what actually happened, kind of ruined the doomsday narrative
