Investigators have issued subpoenas to House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy and four other Republicans as part of their probe into the violent January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol.

The January 6 panel’s subpoenas for Mr McCarthy and Republican Representatives Jim Jordan of Ohio, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Andy Biggs of Arizona and Mo Brooks of Alabama come as the investigation is winding down and as the panel prepares for a series of public hearings this summer.
