The House Judiciary Committee issued a subpoena for documents related to reports of President Donald Trump offering pardons to administration officials in his push to further his immigration agenda
The subpoena to the Department of Homeland Security announced Wednesday targets Trump's reported dangling of pardons. It represents another step in the committee's investigation into potential obstruction of justice and abuses of power by the President as it looks to determine whether to recommend articles of impeachment.
Last week, The Washington Post reported that the President, in his push to make good on his promise to supporters by Election Day, told officials he would pardon them should they break any laws in attempting to finish construction on the wall at the US-Mexico border.
