US House subpoenas US House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler can go to court to force two key members of Trump’s inner circle to comply with congressional subpoenas after the House voted Tuesday to approve that move. The House voted 229 to 191 along party lines to enforce subpoenas issued for Attorney General William Barr and former White House counsel Don McGahn, who have refused to answer subpoenas from the House Judiciary Committee and turn over documents related to former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the Trump administration. "When a congressional committee issues a subpoena, compliance is not optional,” Nadler said in a speech on the House floor. “We expect witnesses to testify when summoned. We expect the Administration to comply with subpoenas and to provide us with the materials we require to do our jobs.” Rep. Phil Roe, of the First District, voted against requiring Barr and McGahn to comply with the subpoenas saying the Mueller report "showed no wrongdoing on the part of the president." And Roe added, "This resolution amounts to nothing more than harassment of President Trump, Attorney General Barr and White House Counsel McGahn." The congressman goes on to say, "This process has only been utilized twice in the history of the House, and both times only after extensive efforts to work through the normal legislative process. Democrats already know the answer to this investigation, so it is time to move on.”
