House Probe Seeks Documents from Trump's Inner Circle Regarding January 6 Attack
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the United States, the House committee investigating the January
6 Capitol insurrection has requested a massive trove of documents
related to the attack, including internal Trump administration
communications. The request to eight federal agencies covers records
involving Melania Trump; Donald Jr., Eric and Ivanka Trump; Jared
Kushner; Mark Meadows; Hope Hicks; Stephen Miller; and Kayleigh Mc
Enany, among others. Investigators are focused on whether Trump wanted
to use the military to remain in power - and whether administration
officials considered invoking the 25th Amendment to remove Trump during
his final weeks in office.
