The chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee has threatened to subpoena Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to obtain documents covering U.S. foreign policy with Tehran and President Trump’s order to kill Iran’s top general.

Democratic New York Rep. Eliot Engel made the threat at a committee hearing on Tuesday, according to Reuters. Engel said he would write to Pompeo and Secretary of Defense Mark Esper requesting information on Iran.
