Rep. Jerrold Nadler, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, subpoenaed former White House communications director Hope Hicks and an aide to former White House counsel Don McGahn to testify before the panel.
The subpoenas direct Hicks to turn over documents by June 4 and testify on June 19.
Another subpoena requires Annie Donaldson, McGahn’s former chief of staff, to hand over the documents by June 4 and appear June 24.
The House Judiciary Committee voted to authorize the subpoenas for Hicks and Donaldson in April the same time it sought subpoenas for Attorney General William Barr to release to Congress a full, unredacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s 448-page report.
The committee also voted to issue a subpoena to McGahn, who refused to testify before the panel on Tuesday after the White House said he had “immunity” as a former member of the administration and an adviser to the president.
“As I said earlier today, the Judiciary Committee’s investigation into obstruction of justice, public corruption and abuse of power by President Trump and his Administration will continue,” Nadler said in a statement.
According to the subpoena, Hicks was ordered to produce documents about Trump’s firing of former FBI Director James Comey and information about the president’s efforts to order McGahn to fire Mueller.
She must also turn over documents about the crafting of a statement about a meeting in the Trump Tower in June 2017 between Donald Trump Jr., former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner with a Kremlin-connected lawyer.
Donaldson, as McGahn’s chief of staff, kept copious notes while in the White House that chronicled conversations and meetings between her boss and other administration officials.
