The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol building on Wednesday subpoenaed Peter Navarro, former White House trade advisor under the Trump administration.

The panel is demanding Navarro hand over documents by Feb. 23 and appear for a deposition on March 2. Members are accusing Navarro of being involved in a plot to delay Congress’ certification of the 2020 presidential election, citing public reporting, interviews, and his book, “In Trump Time: My Journal of America’s Plague Year.”
