1/6 Committee Subpoenas Social Media Records Looking for Efforts to Overturn 2020 Election

The House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack has issued subpoenas to the nation's largest tech and social media companies, looking for evidence of efforts to overturn the 2020 election, as well as other messages contributing to the riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

The committee issued subpoenas to Alphabet (the parent company of Google), Meta (previously known as Facebook), Reddit and Twitter, according to journalist Kyle Griffin.

Specifically, the committee is searching for social media communications about "misinformation, efforts to overturn the 2020 election, domestic violent extremism and foreign influence in the 2020 election," Griffin wrote.
