Report: Top Trump Aides Among Those Subpoenaed by DOJ

Facts

• Stephen Miller and Brian Jack, both top aides during the Trump admin., were among more than a dozen people subpoenaed last week in the Dept. of Justice's (DOJ) investigation of the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, per reporting of The New York Times.
• The subpoenas seek information about Trump's main fundraising operation, Save America - a political action committee that was created in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election - and on the alleged plot to send fake electors to swing states.
• Miller and Jack's subpoenas were issued by a separate grand jury from one that previously started probing the fake-elector plan in the spring. That grand jury subpoenaed several states' GOP lawmakers and officials.
• The latest round of subpoenas went out to a wide swath of people who worked in the White House or on Trump's campaign.
• The Save America political action committee has raised $100M in donations with appeals centering on Trump's debunked false claims that the election was stolen.
• The DOJ is conducting its probe at the same time a U.S. House select committee is investigating the Jan. 6 riots and efforts by Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election.

Narratives

• Democratic narrative, as provided by Salon. Trump's greatest scam since losing the election - and falsely declaring he won - has been the so-called 'Save America' political action committee. DOJ's investigation might catch Miller in its sights next. Trump and his allies are being inundated with legal woes as a result of their malfeasance.
• Pro-Trump narrative, as provided by Red State. The Biden administration will go to any lengths to attack its most likely next political opponent - Donald Trump. Just like the Mar-a-Lago raid, these subpoenas are broad and include a wide range of Trump allies in an obvious attempt to dig up anything about the former president without probable cause.
