In a significant development, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan has issued a subpoena for information on political work conducted by the daughter of New York State Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan. The subpoena targets Michael Nellis, the founder and CEO of Authentic Campaigns, a company that has reportedly done political work for high-profile Democrats like President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
The committee's investigation focuses on Authentic Campaigns' involvement in the prosecution of former President Trump by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Jordan alleges that Nellis has failed to comply with previous requests for documents related to the case.

The investigation highlights the ongoing scrutiny of the Trump prosecution and the potential political motivations behind it. Critics argue that the case is politically charged and lacks a strong legal basis, while supporters maintain that Trump should be held accountable for his actions.
