The House Select Committee investigating January 6 has subpoenaed a documentary filmmaker who had “extensive access” to former President Donald Trump’s White House and campaign.

The committee subpoenaed filmmaker Alex Holder last week, Politico reported Tuesday. Holder reportedly shot interviews with Trump and his inner circle both before and after the storming of the U.S. Capitol.

The committee will seek footage from those interviews, as well as raw footage of the January 6 attack itself and footage of Trump campaign and administration officials discussing election fraud, according to Politico.
