The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol subpoenaed five more aides and supporters of former President Donald Trump, including long-time Trump friend and political adviser Roger Stone and radio host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

The subpoenas announced Monday underscore the panel’s focus on actions and statements by Trump and his backers in the days before, during and after the the siege at the Capitol, when the former president’s supporters stormed the building as Congress certified the Electoral College results from the 2020 election.
