Biden May Revive Fraudulent Asylum Program, Kamala Gains on Trump in Polls

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan subpoenas information on political work conducted by the daughter of a New York judge.

Jordan sent a letter to Michael Nellis, the founder and CEO of Authentic Campaigns – a company that's done political work for top Democratic clients like President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris – accusing him of failing to comply with House investigators' demands for any and all documents related to the prosecution of former President Trump.

The committee wrote to Loren Merchan, the company's president and Judge Merchan's daughter, earlier this month requesting documents in its probe into Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's case against Trump.

Jordan pointed out in his Wednesday letter that Nellis himself rejected that request as well as a subsequent one later in the month.

"As such, the Committee is left with no choice but to resort to compulsory process," Jordan wrote. "Popularly elected prosecutors, such as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, have engaged in an unprecedented abuse of authority by prosecuting a former President of the United States and current nominee for that office. Of relevance to the Committee’s oversight is the impartiality of Judge Juan Merchan, the presiding trial judge, due to his refusal to recuse himself from the case in light of his apparent conflicts of interest and biases."

Jordan and other Republicans have accused the administration of failing to secure the border and allowing a surge in illegal immigration. The committee has also subpoenaed documents from the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice.

The poll, conducted by the American Battleground Trust, found that Harris trails Trump by just 3 points in Pennsylvania and 2 points in Wisconsin. This is a significant improvement for Harris, who trailed Trump by double digits in both states in previous polls.

Trump has repeatedly attacked Harris on the campaign trail, calling her a "radical" and a "disaster." Harris has defended her record and accused Trump of being a "dangerous" and "unfit" leader.

Trump has already announced his candidacy, and Harris is widely expected to enter the race soon. Other potential candidates include Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
