Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, speaking on the floor of the Senate just now, urged the committee to issue subpoenas to the ousted U.S. Attorneys to have them testify, so she could ask some “hard questions.” She said that Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), the chairman of the relative subcommittee was “interested in doing this.”

U.S. Attorney David Iglesias told McClatchy that he would only testify before the committee if subpoenaed.

Update: Responding to Sen. Feinstein’s comments, Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy’s (D-VT) office emailed me a statement that “the Chairman is considering all options to get to the bottom of this issue.”
