The House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol just issued four subpoenas for testimony and documents from Steve Bannon, Mark Meadows, Kash Patel and Dan Scavino. This raises several important legal issues, including:
Is there really any viable claim of executive privlege to defeat these subpoenas?
If the witnesses fail to comply with these lawfully issued congressional subpoenas, will Congress use all tools in its tool box to aggressively enforce its subpoenas?
If legal challenges ARE launched in the courts, will the courts again allow nefarious litigants to weaponize the delay in the court system to run out the clock (as did people like former White House Counsel Don McGahn)?
If the witnesses are actually forced to appear before Congress and placed under oath, will they testify or will they invoke their 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination?
This video unpacks these and other issues surrounding these most consequential subpoenas.
