Washington (CNN) Ali Alexander, a key figure in the "Stop the Steal" movement following the 2020 presidential election, says he has received a grand jury subpoena and has agreed to cooperate with the Justice Department's investigation of the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. He is the first high-profile figure to confirm cooperation in the government's expanding criminal probe. In a statement issued through one of his lawyers, Alexander said that "the subpoena says that I'm not a target but wants information about the 'Women for America First' 'Save America March' event that preceded the riot." "I don't believe I have information that will be useful to them but I'm cooperating as best I can further reiterating that I'm not a target because I did nothing wrong," he said.
