The House Judiciary Committee has issued subpoenas for former FBI Director James B. Comey and former Atty. Gen. Loretta Lynch to appear for closed-door interviews in a probe of how federal law enforcement officials handled investigations of Hillary Clinton’s emails and the Trump campaign’s alleged Russia ties.
The orders direct Comey to appear Dec. 3, while Lynch is to appear Dec. 4, to speak with members of the House Judiciary, and Oversight and Government Reform Committees. Both have already spoken with other congressional panels looking into matters related to Russian interference in the 2016 election, and have indicated they are willing to speak to the joint inquiry as well.
But Comey has already objected to the format of the interview, hinting that he may not show if the session remains closed.
