GOP Senator Pushes Trump Jr. Subpoena Over Russian-Funded Wedding

Sen. John Curtis (R-UT) urged the Senate Judiciary Committee to subpoena Donald Trump Jr. after reports that a Russian oligarch funded parts of his wedding, framing it as part of broader concerns about foreign ties and gifts; he also asked for Hunter Biden to testify. Trump denied knowing Umar Kremlev or paying for the wedding. The request comes as committee hearing schedules are tight, with Democrats likely to pursue the issue if they gain the majority next year.

The SEC has sued Institutional Shareholder Services to compel compliance with an administrative subpoena seeking data on ISS's proxy recommendations and voting activity, as part of the Trump administration's broader push to tighten oversight of proxy advisers. ISS has not produced all requested materials, the SEC says, and the case—filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania—remains in fact-finding with no conclusion of securities-law violations.

Oracle Chief Subpoenaed Over $27B VA Health Records Overhaul

The House Veterans’ Affairs Committee subpoenas Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison (and Oracle CEO Mike Sicilia) to explain ballooning costs and delays in the VA’s electronic health records overhaul, a project that has risen from about $10 billion with a 2028 completion to roughly $27 billion with deployments at fewer than 20 sites; GAO says it lacks a full life-cycle cost estimate, and Oracle declined to testify as lawmakers from both parties criticize the project and the company.

Georgia Judge blocks sweeping DOJ subpoena in 2020 election workers case

A federal judge in Georgia quashed a grand jury subpoena seeking information about Fulton County election workers tied to the 2020 election, calling the breadth of the request “staggering” and suggesting the DOJ’s use of the grand jury to probe the 2020 results may not be legitimate given the statute of limitations, effectively limiting the department’s bid for personal data from election workers as DOJ’s broader election oversight efforts continue.

Post frames DOJ subpoena on reporter as press-freedom test after withdrawal

The Washington Post says the Justice Department sought to force its national-security reporter Ellen Nakashima to testify under a grand-jury subpoena related to sensitive reporting, but the subpoenas were withdrawn after the paper challenged them in federal court; the Post and its editors frame this as a First Amendment issue and note similar withdrawals for Wall Street Journal subpoenas, with steadfast support for journalism.
