'The Select Committee will not tolerate defiance of our subpoenas,' said Mississippi Representative Bennie Thompson.
Two other men who worked for Trump—former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and longtime Trump social media director Dan Scavino—were scheduled for depositions Friday, but they have both been pushed back as well. Meadows, like Patel, has been given a"short postponement" as he is also engaging with the panel, the aide said, and Scavino's deposition has been rescheduled because there were delays in serving his subpoena.
Other witnesses are cooperating, including some who organized or staffed the Trump rally on the Ellipse behind the White House that preceded the riot. The committee subpoenaed 11 rally organizers and gave them a Wednesday deadline to turn over documents and records. They have also been asked to appear at scheduled depositions.
Women for America First, the group that organized the rally on the Ellipse, posted on a fundraising site that two of its founders would"happily testify before an open session of Congress so that the whole world can hear the truth." Many of the rioters who stormed the Capitol on January 6 marched up the National Mall after attending at least part of Trump's rally, where he repeated his meritless claims of election fraud and implored the crowd to"fight like hell." Dozens of police officers were injured as the Trump supporters overwhelmed them and broke through windows and doors to interrupt the certification of Biden's victory.
