Jordan subpoenas former prosecutor who investigated Trump
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan subpoenaed a former Department of Justice prosecutor who helped investigate President Donald Trump.
Thomas Windom, former senior assistant special counsel worked under then-special counsel Jack Smith, played a role in investigating Trump’s classified documents, the investigation into the Jan. 6 attack at the Capitol and efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
“The Committee believes Thomas Windom possess information that is vital to its oversight on this matter, and Windom's refusal to answer several questions in his transcribed interview impedes the Committee's oversight, making compulsory process necessary,” Jordan said in a statement Monday.

Jordan requests Windom appear before the committee on Sept. 30.
Windom appeared before the committee on June 12 for a transcribed interview but declined to answer several questions from the committee without authorization from DOJ, according to Jordan.
“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 oversight on this matter. 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,” the letter states.
