WASHINGTON — A subpoena recently issued to the House sergeant at arms pertains to a Democratic lawmaker and their use of federal funds for a security vendor, two sources familiar with the matter told NBC News on Monday.
The identity of the lawmaker was not immediately known.
The House clerk publicly informed lawmakers of the subpoena request when the chamber opened its session on Monday, but few details were provided.
“This is to notify you formally pursuant to rule 8 of the rules of the House of Representatives that the office of the sergeant at arms for the House of Representatives has been served with a grand jury subpoena for documents issued by the U.S. Department of Justice,” House Reading Clerk Susan Cole said, reading a notification from House Sergeant at Arms William McFarland.
