An air of mystery hovers over a grand jury subpoena announced in the House of Representatives on Monday, which is reportedly for an investigation into a House Democrat.
Reading Clerk Susan Cole conveyed a brief message from House Sergeant at Arms William McFarland, who is the chief law enforcement and protocol officer of the chamber, to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).
“This is to notify you formally pursuant to Rule 8 of the rules of the House of Representatives that the Office of the Sergeant at Arms for the House of Representatives has been served with a grand jury subpoena for documents issued by the U.S. Department of Justice,” Cole relayed.
“After consulting with the Office of General Counsel, I have determined that compliance with the subpoena is consistent with the rights and privileges of the House,” she added before reading that the communication was signed by McFarland.
