The House Foreign Affairs Committee has subpoenaed a group over not handing over documents to the GOP-led committee related to a $500,000 grant it received from the State Department to promote atheism abroad.

The committee’s chairman, Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), announced the subpoena on Aug. 8, citing the group, Humanists International, for not being transparent with Congress.
