The January 6 Committee uses subpoenas against Trump allies who defy Congress

The House Select Committee investigating January 6 deployed subpoenas against Trump allies including Steve Bannon, Mark Meadows, and Peter Navarro who refused to comply, testing the limits of executive privilege claims against Congress. Bannon was convicted of contempt; Navarro was later indicted. The committee's use of contempt referrals established new precedents for congressional enforcement power.
