The House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote Thursday to authorize subpoenas for documents and testimony from a slew of current and former Trump administration officials in connection with the committee’s investigation into alleged obstruction of justice.

The committee is also scheduled to move to authorize subpoenas for documents and testimony from current and former Trump administration officials related to the administration’s immigration policies and the separation of migrant families at the U.S. southern border.

“For months, we have held hearings and sent letters to the agencies of jurisdiction involved with implementing a catastrophic and inhumane family separation policy at the Southern border. Many questions remain and it is past time for a full accounting of this policy and practice,” Chairman Jerrold Nadler Jerrold (Jerry) Lewis NadlerDemocrats shoot down talk of expanding Supreme Court Schumer: 'Nothing is off the table' if GOP moves forward with Ginsburg replacement Top Democrats call for DOJ watchdog to probe Barr over possible 2020 election influence MORE (D-N.Y.) said in a statement Tuesday.

“The Committee will also move forward with our efforts to request information from critical witnesses as part of our ongoing investigation into obstruction, corruption and abuse of power by the President and his associates,” Nadler said.

In connection with the obstruction probe, the committee will vote to authorize subpoenas for 12 current and former White House and Trump campaign officials and Trump associates, according to text of the resolution that will be marked up on Thursday.

It is unclear if Nadler plans to issue the subpoenas immediately if the committee votes to authorize them. Nadler said Tuesday that he remains “open to reaching a reasonable accommodation and will not issue subpoenas if the information we are seeking is voluntarily provided.”

“We will get answers one way or the other,” Nadler said.

The list includes former White House aides Rick Dearborn and Rob Porter, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division Jody Hunt and former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski Corey R.

Many of the individuals from whom the committee has sought information, including McGahn, were key witnesses in Mueller's probe into Russian interference and potential obstruction by Trump.

“House Democrats believe they can conduct the Mueller investigation better than Mueller," White House deputy press secretary Steven Groves said in a statement Tuesday.

"Democrats are only interested in meaningless show hearings, and cannot get past the denial stage of grief after the investigation resulted in no collusion and no obstruction."

The committee will also vote to authorize subpoenas for documents and testimony related to the “zero tolerance” policy, detention or short-term custody of children or migrant families, and “discussions about or offers of presidential pardons to Department of Homeland Security officials or employees,” according to the resolution text.

The panel has previously requested documents and testimony related to the Trump administration’s immigration policies. Thursday’s vote will mark the first effort by the committee to move forward with subpoenas related to the issue and is likely to further ratchet up tensions between House Democrats and the White House.

Thursday's committee vote is likely to pass along party lines, with Democrats holding a majority of seats on the panel.
