The Republican National Committee has been slapped with a subpoena from a House Judiciary subcommittee demanding e-mail messages that could shed some light on Karl Rove’s involvement in the firing of nine US attorneys.
The subpoena is online here. The RNC’s custodian of records has until Tuesday at 10 a.m. to give the subcommittee the e-mails it wants.
The House Judiciary Committee was more friendly with the RNC in April when it sent a letter asking for the e-mails. The White House jumped in and told the RNC not to hand them over until all the messages had been reviewed, citing an “executive branch interest.”
