Secretary of State Rice may face subpoena threat Wednesday Michael Roston
Published: Monday April 16, 2007

Depending on the State Department's response to a request for information prior to a Wednesday meeting, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice could face a subpoena from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, RAW STORY has learned. The move could compel Rice to testify on the intelligence used to justify the invasion of Iraq, and other issues.

"On the 18th, we may hold a business meeting, but that is contingent on whether or not we receive requested information from her,"an Oversight Committee staff member told RAW STORY.

The committee staff member added, "If we do not get the information from the State Department prior to Wednesday, the business meeting may take up the question of issuing a subpoena."

Secretary of State Rice had been asked to testify before the committee on Wednesday, but her office had informed Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA), the committee's chair, that she was not available.
