House Judiciary Committee expands subpoena powers in Nixon inquiry
The House Judiciary Committee voted to empower Chairman Peter Rodino with broad subpoena authority for evidence and witnesses in its impeachment inquiry of President Nixon. The move, opposed by Republicans who wanted dual power with Rep. Hutchinson, passed along party lines. Rodino promised to use the power sparingly and consult before acting. The session also faced debate on impeachment urgency amid Watergate fallout and continued investigations across committees.
