Subpoenas served to state lawmakers, staffers

HARRISBURG — Dozens of Pennsylvania lawmakers and staffers have received subpoenas in the public corruption trial centered on the use of taxpayer money for campaign purposes.

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports Friday at least 39 subpoenas from defense attorneys have been served in Capitol offices.

Former Democratic whip Mike Veon and 11 others connected to the House Democratic caucus were charged last summer with using government employees for electioneering. Prosecutors say staffers were paid bonuses out of taxpayer money for working on campaigns. Three staffers have agreed to plead guilty.

The subpoena recipients will have to appear for a pretrial motions hearing next week and may have to testify at trial.
