OXON HILL, Md. — Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., on Friday was served a subpoena issued at the request of a Missouri Democrat, immediately after Hawley spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

The move prompted Hawley’s office to dismiss the subpoena as a cheap stunt by a Democrat, Elad Gross, who is investigating former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens and is also running for statewide office in 2020.
