Indeed, the committee issued subpoenas for information from former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, former deputy chief of staff Daniel Scavino, former adviser Stephen Bannon and former Pentagon chief of staff Kash Patel.

As reported by the Wall Street Journal, the committee is demanding documents by October 7, and depositions the following week.
