House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler issued subpoenas Tuesday to Hope Hicks and Annie Donaldson, both former Trump White House employees, demanding they turn over documents he’s seeking from their time working for the president’s team.
They were among the 81 persons or entities in the Trump orbit that Mr. Nadler demanded documents from earlier this year.
Mr. Nadler said he wants both documents and testimony from Ms. Hicks, who served as the president’s communications chief, and Ms. Donaldson, who was chief of staff to former White House Counsel Don McGahn.
“I have issued these subpoenas today to two critical witnesses who have worked closely with the president,” Mr. Nadler said. “We are seeking the information in order to conduct proper oversight, consider potential legislation and perform our constitutional duties.”
Earlier Tuesday Mr. McGahn defied a subpoena from Mr. Nadler demanding he appear to testify about his actions and interactions with President Trump during the special counsel’s investigation.
