The January 6 Committee has issued subpoenas to five GOP lawmakers, marking a sharp escalation in the Democrat-dominated probe.

The subpoenas, issued to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), Scott Perry (R-Pa.), and Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), are the first subpoenas that the committee has issued to sitting members of Congress.
