Democrat-led House Judiciary Cmte. subpoenas Corey Lewandowski and Rick Dearborn for testimony Sept. 17.
The House Judiciary Committee announced Thursday that it had served former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski with a subpoena to testify before Congress next month.
Lewandowski has been reportedly considering a Senate run in New Hampshire and is expected to make an appearance at a Trump rally in the state on Thursday night. The House panel's announcement came hours after Trump told a local radio station his former aide would be"a great senator." A Democratic committee source insisted the announcement was not planned to coincide with the Trump event.
The committee also issued a subpoena to former White House deputy chief of staff for policy Rick Dearborn. By an NBC News count, the committee has issued seven subpoenas so far this year. In a statement, House Judiciary chair Jerrold Nadler said his committee was summoning the two former Trump aides to testify publicly on Sept. 17th. The committee had voted to authorize the subpoenas in July.the Special Counsel’s investigationNadler said he expects their testimony"will help the Committee determine whether to recommend articles of impeachment against the President or other Article 1 remedies.
"Corey Lewandowski and Rick Dearborn were prominently featured in the Special Counsel’s description of President Trump’s efforts to obstruct justice by directing then-White House Counsel Don McGahn to fire the Special Counsel, and then by ordering him to lie about it,” Nadler said.
