Subpoenas will be going to the White House. Congressman Cliff Stearns, chairman of the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight told CNN's John King "After eight months of investigations we have a right ... to say, 'what about the internal communications inside the top advisers to the White House? Let's see them." At issue is the role White House administration officials played in securing the DOE loan guarantees and the subordination of that loan to the Kaiser Fund, headed by Obama campaign fund bundler George Kaiser.
"Subpoenaing the White House is a serious step that, unfortunately, appears necessary in light of the Obama administration's stonewall on Solyndra," said a statement issued earlier by Stearns and Rep. Fred Upton, R-Michigan, chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee.
"What is the White House trying to hide from the American public? It is alarming for the Obama White House to cast aside its vows of transparency and block Congress from learning more about the roles that those in the White House and other members of the administration played in the Solyndra mess."
