Two former Trump administration staffers have been subpoenaed by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler.
According to CNBC:
House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., on Tuesday subpoenaed former White House officials Hope Hicks and Annie Donaldson to testify before his committee and provide documents related to a sweeping probe of figures in President Donald Trump’s orbit.
Donaldson was chief of staff to former White House counsel Don McGahn, who on Tuesday defied the Judiciary panel’s subpoena to testify about special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe. Hicks is the former White House communications director.
Both Hicks and Donaldson were ordered to produce the requested documents to the committee by June 4. Hicks’ subpoena sets a June 19 date for her to testify in a hearing before the Judiciary Committee, while Donaldson is asked to appear June 24 for a deposition.
The Judiciary Committee said in a statement that the subpoenas for Hicks and Donaldson were issued for “testimony and documents” related to its probe of “obstruction of justice, public corruption, and other abuses of power by President Trump, his associates, and members of his Administration.”
Hicks did not respond to an inquiry for comment but Nadler wants to hear from her and the other staffer because they both worked closely with the president during the investigation.
