House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) used the panel’s first subpoena of the 112th Congress to renew his campaign to determine whether federal officials, including House and Senate lawmakers and aides, received special deals on mortgages and rental agreements.

The subpoena seeks documents related to Countrywide Financial’s VIP loan program, known as “Friends of Angelo.” It was issued Wednesday to Bank of America, which now owns Countrywide.

The requested documents include information about current or former local, state and federal employees, as well as Members and Congressional employees. The documents are requested by March 7.

“Countrywide orchestrated a deliberate and calculated effort to use relationships with people in high places in order to manipulate public policy and further their bottom line to the detriment of the American taxpayers even at the expense of its own lending standards,” Issa said in a statement. “This subpoena will allow us to obtain the information needed to answer the outstanding public interest questions regarding the full size and scope of the VIP program.”

Unlike a subpoena the committee submitted to Bank of America in 2009, the new subpoena does not require documents to be submitted to the House Ethics Committee if there are references to a current lawmaker or staff member. Under the initial subpoena, the Ethics Committee would redact names, addresses and other identifiers of Members or their aides before turning such documents over to the Oversight Committee.
