The former president's senior strategist Steve Bannon has refused to co-operate with a probe into last year's US Capitol attack by a pro-Trump mob.

“As demonstrated in our hearings, we have assembled overwhelming evidence, including from dozens of your former appointees and staff, that you personally orchestrated and oversaw a multi-part effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election and to obstruct the peaceful transition of power,” the committee wrote in a letter to Trump on Friday.

Each of the two counts was punishable by a minimum of one month and a maximum of one year in prison and a fine of up to $US100,000 ($A158,425).

And should the Republican Party take over the House of Representatives after the midterm elections on 8 November, Trump's allies in Congress have vowed to disband - and even investigate - the January 6 committee. But despite the court's admonishments, he lashed out at the Biden administration and called for the US attorney general to be impeached. It was the kind of language that got Bannon in trouble in the first place. Despite the jeers of "fascist traitor!" Mr Trump is not expected to comply, and the move could set off another legal skirmish. A few hours later, the House January 6 committee issued it's most dramatic subpoena yet - to Mr Trump himself.
