Former FBI Director James Comey revealed in a Thanksgiving Day tweet that he'd received a subpoena.   "Happy Thanksgiving," Comey wrote. "Got a subpoena from House Republicans. I'm still happy to sit in the light and answer all questions. But I will resist a 'closed door' thing because I've seen enough of their selective leaking and distortion. Let's have a hearing and invite everyone to see." 
CNN reports that the subpoena was issued by House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte.  Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch is said to have received one as well. 
"House Republicans have mere weeks before Democrats take control of committees and thus, control of subpoena power away from GOP hands," notes CBS News.
