Harris: I Didn’t Report Subpoena Because I Didn’t Have To

I just spoke with Jennifer Marks, the campaign spokeswoman for Rep. Katherine Harris’ (R-FL) Senate bid. Responding to my question this morning — why didn’t Harris report her subpoena to the Speaker of the House, as House rules require, Marks gave the following statement:

“It is important to point out that the Department of Justice has informed Congresswoman Harris she is not a target of the investigation. Our campaign has helped the Department of Justice in every way they have asked, and there have been no requests of the congresswoman personally, or of her congressional office, that would require a report to the House Speaker.”

Marks repeatedly declined my requests to elaborate beyond that statement.
