U.S. lawmakers threaten to subpoena Trump aide Kellyanne Conway
WASHINGTON - A U.S. House of Representatives panel warned in a letter it could subpoena the testimony of Kellyanne Conway, a senior adviser to President Donald Trump, if she does not appear at a scheduled hearing this week.
The House Oversight Committee, chaired by Democrat Elijah Cummings, said it would vote on a potential subpoena if Conway does not testify before lawmakers at a scheduled Wednesday session focused on her alleged violations of the Hatch Act.The hearing was scheduled after the Office of Special Counsel, a U.S.
If Conway does not testify at the hearing, the Committee plans to hold a business meeting to consider authorizing a subpoena for the White House advisor for “testimony in connection with her failure to comply with the Hatch Act and ethics laws,” Cummings wrote in a letter to Committee members dated Friday.The threat is a sign of growing frustration among House Democrats who have been thwarted in their efforts to hold to account the Trump administration.
