BREAKING: House Committee to Subpoena Ousted Prosecutors

The House Judiciary Committee will be issuing subpoenas to four of the fired prosecutors this afternoon, according to a committee spokesperson.

The U.S. attorneys who will receive a subpoena are California’s Southern District’s Carol Lam, New Mexico’s David Iglesias, Arkansas’ Eastern District’s H.E. “Bud” Cummins, and Washington’s Western District’s John McKay. They will testify next Tuesday before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law.

More soon.

Update: The hearing will be Tuesday of next week, not Thursday as I originally reported.

Update: It seems worth pointing out that these are the first subpoenas to be issued in the 110th Congress.
