Key Facts
The January 6 committee instructed four Trump allies to sit for testimony and turn over records next month: Giuliani, Powell, Trump 2020 campaign attorney Jenna Ellis and campaign advisor Boris Epshteyn.
In a statement, the committee said Giuliani, Powell, Ellis and Epshteyn “publicly promoted unsupported claims about the 2020 election and participated in attempts to disrupt or delay the certification of election results.”
