The congressional panel investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol postponed a deposition with Jason Miller after the longtime Trump adviser began engaging with the committee, a House aide tells NBCNews.
The House committee had been scheduled to depose Miller on Friday. It was unclear when a new deposition might take place.earlier reported the postponement.
The committee subpoenaed Miller and several other top Trump aides last month, claiming that they set up a"war room" as a command center in Washington to brainstorm efforts to halt the counting of electoral votes days before the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol. Miller was a senior adviser on former President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign. Before that, he was as a top aide in the Trump administration.
According to the House committee, Miller coordinated with Trump and Rudy Giuliani, Trump's former lawyer, to discuss strategies to overturn the election results and pressure Vice President Mike Pence not to certify the Electoral College count in Congress. The committee also alleged that Trump's re-election campaign urged state and GOP officials to press state election officials to"delay or deny certification of electoral votes."
