Thompson detailed allegations that Pierson worked with the group Women for America First (WFAF) to help organize the rally and communicate with Trump ahead of the event. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) sent Pierson a letter demanding that she produce documents related to January 6 by October 13 and appear for a deposition on November 3. FEC records show the Trump campaign paid Pierson $10,000 every two weeks for her work from September 2019 to December 2020, according to the Associated Press. Pierson, a longtime Trump ally, was brought in to coordinate with the White House on who would share the stage with Trump during the January 6 event. Manigault-Newman's comments come after Pierson and 10 other Trump advisers and campaigners were hit with subpoenas as part of the committee's ongoing investigation. "So yes, Katrina should be very concerned, and we'll see what happens, but the committee is on the right track," the former Trump adviser added. She's going to have a lot of information, and she had a lot of insight on what they knew and when, and I truly believe because of Donald Trump's violent instincts that he knew that things would probably get out of hand." "And because she was so involved with raising money and organizing the events, I believe the committee is right in subpoenaing her.

"Not only was Katrina one of the organizers, but she was behind the money, you know, and every scandal, it's 'always follow the money,'" Manigault-Newman said.

Speaking with MSNBC's Alex Witt on Saturday, Manigault-Newman said investigators need to "follow the money" and suggested that Pierson, who the committee subpoenaed Wednesday, would provide valuable information. Omarosa Manigault-Newman, a former White House adviser under Donald Trump, said Saturday that the House committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot is "on the right track" by honing in on ex-Trump adviser Katrina Pierson.
