The select panel investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection said Thursday it had
subpoenaed James P. “Phil” Waldron, a retired Army colonel who helped allies of
former President Donald Trump promote debunked claims about election fraud.
“Mr. Waldron reportedly played a role in promoting claims of election fraud and
circulating potential strategies for challenging results of the 2020 election.
He was also apparently in communication with officials in the Trump White House
and in Congress discussing his theories in the weeks leading up to the January
6th attack,” the committee’s chair, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), said in a
statement.
Thompson referred to a PowerPoint presentation that Waldron, according to The
New York Times, had given to members of Congress bolstering Trump’s attempt to
challenge his 2020 loss as an “an alarming blueprint for overturning a
nationwide election.”
The summons asks Waldron to turn over documents to the panel by Jan. 10 and
appear for a deposition the week after. Waldron could not immediately be reached
for comment.
Waldron’s subpoena comes as the panel zeroes in on the Trump White House’s
countenancing of election fraud claims. Earlier this week, the full House voted
to hold former chief of staff Mark Meadows in contempt of Congress after he
refused to testify before the select committee.
The panel had hoped to ask Meadows about the Waldron PowerPoint, which he
received on Jan. 5 amid intensifying last-ditch efforts by Trump allies to
overturn the election. Meadows turned over the Waldron document during a brief
period of cooperation with the committee.
Waldron also participated in state-level hearings held by Republican allies of
Trump in the aftermath of the Nov. 3, 2020, election, testifying about
discredited claims of fraud that Trump seized on to assert that the election had
been stolen from him.
