House Judiciary Chair Jordan subpoenas Arlington County prosecutor regarding protest near White House aide Stephen Miller's home.

AI Summary

The move reflects a broader Trump administration focus on protest conduct and extends congressional oversight into local law enforcement decisions. Dehghani-Tafti has not yet publicly responded to the subpoena. The clash highlights tensions between Republican-led congressional investigators and Democratic-appointed local prosecutors over how to handle political demonstrations.
