House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said he issued two subpoenas to Justice Department (DOJ) officials, including a former prosecutor in the Roger Stone case, to testify before Congress on accusations that the department had been politicized under the Trump administration.
Aaron Zelinsky and John Elias have been scheduled to testify before the committee on June 24, Nadler said on Tuesday. Zelinsky was one of the four prosecutors who withdrew from the Stone case after department leaders decided to override the prosecutor’s sentencing recommendation. Meanwhile, Elias serves as the acting chief of staff to the assistant attorney general of the antitrust division.
