A grand jury subpoena has been issued to the House sergeant at arms concerning a Democratic lawmaker and their use of federal funds for a security vendor. The identity of the lawmaker has not been disclosed.
The announcement was made during the House’s session on Monday by House Reading Clerk Susan Cole, who indicated that the subpoena was issued by the U.S. Department of Justice. The sergeant at arms, William McFarland, determined that complying with the subpoena aligns with the rights and privileges of the House.
Details regarding the specific nature of the investigation or the lawmaker involved remain sparse, and representatives from both Republican and Democratic leadership declined to comment on the matter.
