Harris Organizer Fights Back Against Jim Jordan's Subpoena
A Democratic strategist who helped organize a “White Dudes for Harris” call, Mike Nellis, is battling a subpoena from Republican House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio). Nellis firmly states, “This subpoena serves no legitimate legislative purpose—making it invalid, unconstitutional, and unenforceable.”
The Context Behind the Subpoena
The House Judiciary Committee had previously subpoenaed Authentic Campaigns, a firm connected to the daughter of Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing former President Trump's hush money trial. Nellis has publicly condemned the subpoena, asserting that it undermines justice and due process.
- Nellis voiced his objections on X, emphasizing the unconstitutional nature of the subpoena.
- He challenged the legitimacy of Jordan's inquiries regarding Authentic Campaigns' work.
- Jordan requested a deposition from Nellis as part of the investigation.
Nellis' Response and Legal Team's Stance
Nellis released a letter from his legal team to Jordan, inviting followers to scrutinize the contents. “Authentic's work is in no way connected to former President Trump's legal proceedings in New York,” stated the letter.
- Nellis claims that Jordan's insinuations are “baseless and dangerous.”
- The letter firmly rebukes any connection between Authentic Campaigns and the Trump trial.
The Hill has reached out for comments from Jordan's office concerning this matter.
