Former Michigan GOP chair Cox criticizes Jan. 6 subpoena

LANSING, MI (AP)— Former Michigan Republican Party chair Laura Cox has criticized a U.S. House committee’s issuance of a subpoena for her testimony related to the Capitol insurrection, saying it's seeking information already in the public realm.

Cox issued a statement late Tuesday after the panel subpoenaed her and others over efforts to send false “alternate electors” from states Joe Biden won. She says she had been cooperating and the committee’s announcement “reeks of partisanship and PR stunts.”

The panel's chair says it wants to learn what Cox knows about attempts to reverse Biden's win, including a visit to Michigan by Rudy Giuliani.
