The longtime congressman has asked the administration to comply to letters he sent out recently by Jan. 11.

“We're going to cautiously go about with subpoenas. ... There would have to be something that has a compelling interest to the citizens of the United States and would have to be something that comes under our jurisdiction.

And we’ll never get a chance to do everything.”
