| Description | "The White House is not expected to comply with a subpoena issued by House Republicans for documents related to the $535 million loan guarantee to the failed solar firm Solyndra.
White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler blasted the GOP on Friday for issuing the subpoena, calling it "unprecedented and unnecessary." And a senior administration official told The Hill on Monday that the White House faces major logistical hurdles in complying with the request, which calls for all internal communications involving Solyndra.
Rejection of the subpoena request would set up a high-profile clash between the White House and Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s investigative panel, which voted along party lines to issue the subpoena last week.
A senior administration official, in an interview with The Hill, said the scope of the subpoena is too broad.
"The subpoena is effectively asking for any documents in the White House that refer or relate to the Solyndra loan guarantee,” said the official, who was not authorized to speak on the record about the subpoena." |
