The Senate Judiciary Committee has moved one step closer to having the ousted U.S. attorneys testify.

Following up on Sens. Dianne Feinstein’s (D-CA) and Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) calls to subpoena the fired U.S. attorneys, a spokesperson for the Senate Judiciary Committee told me that the committee will be sending a letter in the next couple of days to some of the fired U.S. attorneys asking them to voluntarily testify.

If the attorneys do not agree, the committee will consider issuing subpoenas for their testimony next week, the spokesperson said. Sen. Schumer said earlier that a number of the attorneys are willing to testify, but would only do so if subpoenaed.
