INTELLIGENCE/LEGAL/RUSSIA: “The House Intelligence Committee issued seven subpoenas Wednesday [5-31-17] as part of its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, including subpoenas to former national security adviser Michael Flynn and President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen.
‘As part of our ongoing investigation into Russian active measures during the 2016 campaign, today we approved subpoenas for several individuals for testimony, personal documents and business records,’ said Reps. Mike Conaway and Adam Schiff, the top Republican and Democrat involved in the investigation.
‘We hope and expect that anyone called to testify or provide documents will comply with that request, so that we may gain all the information within the scope of our investigation. We will continue to pursue this investigation wherever the facts may lead,’ they said.
Four of the seven subpoenas were related to the committee’s probe into Russian interference in the election, according to The Wall Street Journal. Flynn’s lobbying firm, Flynn Intel Group, was also subpoenaed, as was Cohen’s firm, Michael D. Cohen & Associates.”
