TOP NEWS The House Committee investigating January 6 insurrection issues 16 subpoenas in 2 days     Alex Wong/Getty Images The House Select Committee issued subpoenas for 10 additional Trump officials on Tuesday, including former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, as part of its investigation into the January 6 insurrection at the state Capitol. [CNBC / Dan Mangan] Other former officials subpoenaed include Stephen Miller, senior adviser and speechwriter for Trump, and personnel director John McEntee. [Politico / Betsy Woodruff Swan and Kyle Cheney] The latest round of subpoenas brings the tally of Trump officials subpoenaed this week to 16. On Monday, the House committee subpoenaed six people, including two officials who worked in Trump Willard hotel "command center," three members of Trump's reelection campaign, and former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. [Washington Post / Jacqueline Alemany, Tom Hamburger, and Josh Dawsey] Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon was one of the first former officials to be subpoenaed by the committee, but he refused to appear, citing claims to executive privilege. The House issued a resolution on October 21 recommending the Justice Department prosecute Bannon for contempt of Congress, but no charges have been brought yet. [MSNBC / Joyce Vance] "The Select Committee needs to know every detail about their efforts to overturn the election, including who they were talking to in the White House and in Congress, what connections they had with rallies that escalated into a riot, and who paid for it all," committee chair Bennie Thompson said Monday, explaining this week's subpoenas. [The Hill / Rebecca Beitsch] Chilean President Sebastián Piñera is impeached  over corruption allegations The lower house of Chile's Congress voted Tuesday to impeach President Sebastián Piñera over conflicts of interest revealed in the Pandora Papers; investigations into tax and bribery offenses are also underway.

In exchange, the Chilean government did not impose environmental restrictions on areas close to the mine — a conflict of interest. [FT / Michael Stott and Lucinda Elliott] Piñera, a political conservative and one of Chile's wealthiest people, says he did nothing wrong, pointing to the prior dismissal of a 2017 investigation into the sale. [Al Jazeera] In a process similar to the US impeachment process, the Senate will make the final decision on removing Pinera. Chileans are set to elect a new president on November 21, as Pinera is ineligible to run for a third term.
