Let’s have a thread for this separate from the people who actually entered the Capitol. The first indication I have seen that the DOJ is actively looking at this is the subpoena that Peter Navarro evidently received last week. According to Navarro, this subpoena asks for all his communication with Trump concerning the rally on Jan. 6.
Navarro claims the subpoena refers to his refusal to testify before the Congressional committee, but legal folks say that a subpoena for this would be unusual, and this may point to actual DOJ activity toward the people who planned Jan. 6 and/or the attempts to overturn the 2020 Presidential election.

“According to Navarro, the grand jury subpoena directs him to appear for June 2 testimony and to produce any documents that would shed light on his refusal to testify to congressional investigators in February. The demand for documents, he says, include records of any contacts he had with Trump or the former president’s attorneys.
A grand jury subpoena for Navarro would be the most aggressive known step that prosecutors have taken into Trump’s West Wing related to Jan. 6. There have long been indications, though, that federal prosecutors have been laying the groundwork for a broader probe into Trump’s inner circle to examine their role in attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election — and stoking the violence that ensued Jan. 6, 2021.”
