House Republicans have issued a subpoena to Lesley Wolf, the assistant U.S. attorney in Delaware.
"The people's House is back in business," newly elected Speaker Mike Johnson told colleagues before being sworn in.
Rep. Mike Johnson is the fourth speaker nominee since McCarthy's removal and the second in a single day. He said that his intention is to go the House floor Wednesday for a noon speaker vote.
It's been nearly three weeks since Kevin McCarthy was ousted as House speaker, and Republicans don't appear any closer to choosing a new one. Nine House GOP members are now vying for the spot after Rep. Jim Jordan failed to gain enough support in three rounds of voting last week. Skyler Henry has the latest.
The House Republican Conference voted that Jordan should drop his bid in a closed-door meeting following an earlier vote on the House floor.
"I'm still running for speaker and I plan to go to the floor and get the votes and win this race," Rep. Jim Jordan said Thursday.
All total, 22 Republicans voted against Rep. Jim Jordan on the second ballot.
Rep. Jim Jordan lost 20 Republicans to win just 200 votes, falling shy of the 217 needed to become speaker of the House.
