The January 6th Committee on Wednesday issued subpoenas to Nick Fuentes and Patrick Casey for allegedly promoting “unsupported claims about the 2020 election” and falsely claimed they were both “present” at the Capitol on Jan 6.
Patrick Casey was not present on Capitol grounds on Jan 6 and did not attend the event.
Fuentes was present but never entered the Capitol building.
“Nicholas J. Fuentes and Patrick Casey are leaders of the ‘America First’ or ‘Groyper’ movement and were present on the Capitol grounds on January 6th,” a statement from the January 6th Committee said. “Both individuals participated in the events prior to January 6th promoting unsupported claims about the election, including at the November 14th, 2020 Million MAGA March in Washington, D.C. and the December 12, 2020 Stop the Steal rallies, also in Washington, D.C., where they called for the destruction of the Republican Party for failing to overturn the election. According to public reports, both Fuentes and Casey received tens of thousands of dollars in Bitcoin from a French computer programmer, funds the FBI has scrutinized to assess whether funds from this donor were linked to the Capitol attack or otherwise used to fund illegal activity.”

Both are being subpoenaed purely for their political views, just as with Alex Jones who video after video shows encouraged rallygoers not to enter the Capitol.
Fuentes responded with mockery to the news on Telegram saying, “They couldn’t give me my own post? What a rip.”
“Also I wasn’t sent ‘tens of thousands of dollars in bitcoin,’ it was hundreds of thousands. Just saying,” Fuentes said.
Fuentes and Casey had a falling-out ahead of Fuentes’ America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC) in Feb 2021.
