WASHINGTON The House Jan. 6 committee on Wednesday subpoenaed two leaders of a white nationalist group that pushed former President Donald Trump s election lies and wanted Trump to rule for life.

Nicholas Fuentes and Patrick Casey , leaders in the America First, or groypers, movement, have been asked to turn over relevant documents to the committee by Feb. 2 and to sit for depositions on Feb. 9.

The committees letter to Fuentes cites his appearances at pro-Trump rallies in the weeks leading up to Jan. 6, including one at the Michigan state Capitol on Nov. 11, 2020. You told the crowd they should rally at state capitols every day, and said conservatives should be more feral in their tactics to overturn the election, it states.

On Jan. 6, Fuentes was at the U.S. Capitol, egging on his supporters to enter the building. You called on your followers to continue occupying the Capitol until the election results were overturned, and proclaimed a glorious day on your Twitter, the letter reads.
