House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, has escalated his investigation into the political work conducted by the daughter of a New York judge presiding over a case involving former President Donald Trump, issuing a subpoena for documents related to her company’s activities, Fox News reported.

Jordan subpoenaed Michael Nellis, CEO of Authentic Campaigns, as part of his investigation into Loren Merchan, daughter of Judge Juan Merchan, who presides over Trump’s N.Y. business documents case. Loren Merchan is the firm’s president.

Jordan’s decision to issue the subpoena follows what he described as a lack of cooperation from Nellis and Merchan.
