Rep. William Jefferson's trial starts next month. The Hill reports that six Hill staffers have been subpoenaed to testify in that trial:
The Department of Justice has subpoenaed six current and former House aides to testify in next month’s trial of Rep. William Jefferson (D-La.), who faces a wide array of public corruption and bribery charges, according to a knowledgeable source.
The current House aides include Paul Arcangeli, a professional staffer on the House Armed Services Committee, and Roberta Hopkins and Stephanie Butler, who work in Jefferson’s office. In addition, the DoJ has subpoenaed three former employees of Jefferson, although the names of those individuals have not been specified, the source said.
The House general counsel’s office is representing all six staffers in the matter.
