The House Administration Committee subpoenaed top officials at five government agencies on Thursday to appear for closed-door depositions over concerns that they were using federal funds to encourage more Democrats to vote.

Committee Chairman Bryan Steil (R-WI) issued the subpoenas to leaders at the Departments of Labor, Justice, Housing and Urban Development, Health and Human Services, and Agriculture, asking them to appear before the committee at various dates in early September, according to copies of the subpoenas reviewed by the Washington Examiner.
