Axios: House Judiciary prepares to subpoena Attorney General Bill Barr

[spanone]

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.

5. There's no one to stop them.

There are never any consequences.

If he defies a subpoena, the Chairman needs to send a bar complaint immediately.
