The district director for sophomore Democratic Rep. Tony Cárdenas notified the House Thursday that she’s been subpoenaed by a federal grand jury conducting an investigation in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

Gabriela Marquez, who heads operations in the Los Angeles congressman’s Panorama City office, issued the formal notice in accordance with House rules. Staff in Cárdenas’ Washington, D.C., office confirmed the April 13 communication, but did not provide further details.

Sources in California told CQ Roll Call the FBI spent a few hours interviewing Marquez in her home roughly three weeks ago, asking questions about whether staffers in Cárdenas’ office worked on campaign-related activities while being paid for official office time.

Cárdenas’ office did not return request for comment on the grand jury investigation.

Using official staff for political work could violate both federal appropriations law and House rules.

The House Ethics Committee in 2012 fined former Rep. Laura Richardson, D-Calif., $10,000 for “requiring or compelling” her House office staffers to work on her campaign. Richardson subsequently lost her bid for re-election.

Justice Department spokesman Peter Carr, citing agency policy, would neither confirm nor deny an investigation.

shocker

It's kind of sad that this kind of shit is no longer even surprising anymore.

It's a good time to go against FBI experts.

Not Fairfax.

As if something like that has never happened to a Republican...

LOL.

The Democrats are full of moral degenerates and sexual deviants. The only surprise is how many are left free in our society. Most of the. Should be locked up in prison or mental hospitals.

When will the FBI start investigating Hillary. They're concerned about a $6,000 watch, yet the Clintons accepted $2,000,000 from a shady Russian company, and then used their pull to have the government sell uranium to said shady Russian company.

The Clintons have accepted bribes for years, and the Democrats seem to have no problem with it.

The only reason the New York Times/Washington Post are attacking Hillary and her corruption now is that they want her out so that an even wackier Liberal can run (like Elizabeth Warren).
