Senate Judiciary Chairman Threatens to Subpoena Comey

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) is opening the door to summoning James Comey to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee after the former FBI director declined an invitation. "Under our rules on our committee, if Sen [Dianne] Feinstein [D-CA] would agree to subpoena I would," said Chairman Grassley. Comey is scheduled to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee on June 7, making his first public comments since he was fired by President Donald Trump in May. Sen Richard Burr (R-NC), the chairman of the intelligence panel questioning the ousted FBI chief, said that he anticipated June 7's hearing will be the only time Comey appears before Congress. But members of the Judiciary Committee are continuing to demand that Comey also come before their panel, which has oversight of the FBI.
