Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, on Sept. 11 subpoenaed Department of Homeland Security (DHS) acting Secretary Chad Wolf to testify at a public hearing on Sept. 17, titled “Worldwide Threats to the Homeland.”

The subpoena was announced the same day that DHS stated that Wolf wouldn’t be available to testify that day and offered to find a later date for his testimony.
