Jim Jordan subpoenas DOJ prosecutor who helped investigate Donald Trump
The House Judiciary chair is ordering Thomas Windom to appear before the committee on Sept. 30.

Windom previously sat with the House Judiciary panel on June 12 as part of Jordan’s probe into efforts under the previous administration to investigate Trump. According to a letter from Jordan, Windom declined to answer some questions without authorization from the Justice Department. Jordan countered that such authorization was not necessary.

“The Committee sought your voluntary cooperation with our inquiry because, due to your service as a senior official on Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team, it believes you possess information that is vital to [its] oversight,” the letter from Jordan said. “Your refusal to answer several questions in your transcribed interview impedes the Committee’s oversight, and your stated bases for declining to cooperate fully are not persuasive.”

Jordan ordered Windom to appear before the panel on Sept. 30 at 10 a.m.
