Will Trump comply with Jan. 6 committee subpoena? What’s next after Thursday’s hearing

LA Times  

The House’s Jan. 6 committee has spent nearly a year conducting more than 1,000 interviews and reviewing tens of thousands of documents in its investigation of Trump supporters’ 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Despite early signals of what the panel intended to scrutinize, such as who was behind fundraising for the rally where then-President Trump spoke before the attack, the committee ultimately focused on Trump’s role in the events and his mindset around Jan. 6, pushing some issues to the back burner. The committee’s hearings barely touched on information it had gathered on several topics key to understanding the events on and around Jan. 6, including what failures in law enforcement intelligence gathering allowed the insurrection to happen, who funded efforts to find evidence of fraud in the election, and who paid for some Trump supporters to travel to Washington to march on the Capitol. … They have the torch, and we’ll see where they go with it.” Committee Vice Chair Liz Cheney said at Thursday’s hearing that criminal referrals for multiple individuals were likely, but did not elaborate.
