House Judiciary prepares to subpoena Attorney General Bill Barr
Source: Axios
House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) is preparing to subpoena Attorney General Bill Barr for his testimony on July 2, a committee spokesperson confirmed to Axios.
Why it matters: The expected subpoena comes after the firing of Geoffrey Berman, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York who had been investigating President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani.
The committee's ranking member Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) made reference to the subpoena plans in a letter obtained by Axios.
Daniel Schwarz, a spokesman for Nadler, confirmed to Axios that the committee is seeking Barr's testimony and intends to subpoena him if he does not agree to testify next week.
"There’s certain procedural steps that need to be taken if you were going to send a subpoena, but one of them is consulting the minority," Schwarz said.
The backdrop: Nadler, who has launched an investigation into Berman's removal, has asked Berman to testify before the committee, though it's unclear if and when he will appear.
Details: According to the letter, which Jordan sent to Nadler Monday night, House Judiciary Democrats have "indicated" to the committee's Republican members and staff that Nadler plans to issue a subpoena shortly.
