First issuing of ‘Attorneygate’ subpoenas to White House

Michael Roston, Raw Story

Two former White House officials will face subpoenas for their involvement in the firing of 8 US Attorneys earlier this year. RAW STORY has confirmed with House Judiciary Committee staff that House investigators will issue a subpoena for Harriet Miers, former White House Counsel, and the Senate will issue a subpoena for Sara Taylor, a former top aide to Karl Rove. Both committees also sought a variety of documents from the White House.

“Let me be clear: this subpoena is not a request, it is a demand on behalf of the American people for the White House…to help us answer the questions that remain,” said Rep. John Conyers (D-MI). “The breadcrumbs in this investigation have always led to 1600 Pennsylvania. This investigation will not end until the White House complies with the demands of this subpoena in a timely and reasonable manner so that we may get to the bottom of this.”
