Jim Jordan subpoenas company led by daughter of NY v Trump judge

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan is subpoenaing the firm that Judge Juan Merchan's daughter does political work for.

The committee wrote to Loren Merchan earlier this month requesting documents in its probe into Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's case against Trump.

Jordan pointed out in his Wednesday letter that Nellis himself rejected that request as well as a subsequent one later in the month. Follow on Twitter at @liz_elkind and send tips to elizabeth.elkind@fox.com

"As such, the Committee is left with no choice but to resort to compulsory process," Jordan wrote. "Popularly elected prosecutors, such as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, have engaged in an unprecedented abuse of authority by prosecuting a former President of the United States and current nominee for that office. Of relevance to the Committee’s oversight is the impartiality of Judge Juan Merchan, the presiding trial judge, due to his refusal to recuse himself from the case in light of his apparent conflicts of interest and biases."
