The Office of the Sergeant at Arms was served with a grand jury subpoena for documents, it was announced on the House floor in Washington on Jan. 29.
âAfter consulting with the office of general counsel, I have determined that compliance with the subpoena is consistent with the rights and derivatives of the House,â House Sergeant at Arms William McFarland said in a statement.

The sergeant at arms is the chief law enforcement officer for the House and is charged with âmaintaining orderâ in the House side of the Capitol, according to the House website.
Mr. McFarland was appointed in 2023 by then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.). Current Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has kept him in place.
