The House Judiciary Committee voted 24-17 on Wednesday to authorize subpoenas for testimony and documents from five former White House officials, including President Trump's first chief of staff, Reince Priebus.
The other subpoenas are for testimony and documents from former White House counsel Donald McGahn, McGahn's former deputy Ann Donaldson, former Trump campaign chairman Stephen Bannon and former White House communications director Hope Hicks.
The resolution allows Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) to “at his discretion and as he determined necessary” issue subpoenas to the individuals as part of the investigation.
The Democrat-led committee has asked 81 individuals and entities connected to Trump to turn over documents as part of its sweeping probe into possible corruption, obstruction of justice and abuse of power.
