Adam Schiff, D-Calif.<\/li>\n<li>That aggressive stance suggests a shift in how Democrats are willing to wield their oversight powers after being repeatedly rebuffed by the Trump administration.<\/li>\n<li>&quot;We also have a Justice Department that may be supportive if we need to hold people in contempt,&quot; Schiff said.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The House select committee investigating the deadly Capitol invasion will move to subpoena some witnesses as a first course of action if they are seen to be resistant or hostile to the panel&#x27;s goals, Rep. Adam Schiff said Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The panel will make requests &quot;where we think they&#x27;ll be complied with,&quot; said Schiff, one of seven Democrats on the nine-member committee.<\/p>\n<p>But it will skip &quot;time-consuming steps,&quot; such as asking for documents or interviews with those parties, and go &quot;straight to subpoenas where we think we&#x27;re dealing with recalcitrant parties,&quot; the California lawmaker said.<\/p>\n<p>The committee members &quot;feel a real sense of urgency,&quot; Schiff told reporters in a hallway gaggle at the Capitol. &quot;Where we do meet resistance, we&#x27;re going to push back hard,&quot; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Hundreds of supporters of then-President Donald Trump attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6 in a bid to prevent Congress from confirming Joe Biden&#x27;s victory in the 2020 election. The invasion, which followed a rally during which Trump encouraged supporters to march on the Capitol, led to several deaths. Several hundred people were charged with crimes related to the insurrection.<\/p>\n<h2>CNBC Politics<\/h2>\n<p>Read more of CNBC&#x27;s politics coverage:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Biden vows a new era of &#x27;relentless diplomacy&#x27; as the world contends with Covid, climate change and China<\/li>\n<li>Rep.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., threatened those companies not to comply with the probe.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/09\/21\/jan-6-committee-will-go-straight-to-subpoenas-if-needed-in-riot-probe-adam-schiff-says.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House select committee investigating the deadly<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":139459,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23055],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Committee investigating Jan. 6 Capitol invasion will go &#x27;straight to subpoenas&#x27; if needed, Rep.
