The Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, members of which have been indicted in connection to the attack on Congress, were separated in this latest wave. Henry "Enrique" Tarrio, chairman of the Proud Boys on Jan. 6, Elmer Stewart Rhodes, president of the Oath Keepers, and Robert Patrick Lewis, chairman of 1st Amendment Praetorian, were all named by the committee, which is seeking papers and testimony.
"We believe the individuals and organizations we subpoenaed today have relevant information about how violence erupted at the Capitol and the preparation leading up to this violent attack," Chairman Bennie Thompson said in a statement. "The Select Committee is moving swiftly to uncover the facts of what happened on that day and we expect every witness to comply with the law and cooperate so we can get answers to the American people."

Members of the Proud Boys called for violence leading up to Jan. 6 and repeatedly spread former President Donald Trump's allegation that the 2020 election was stolen, according to the panel.
While Tarrio was not permitted passage to Washington, D.C., the day the riot occurred, he was supposedly included in the group's preparation for the events at the Capitol.
