Issa Subpoena Called ‘Unfortunate And Unnecessary’ By White House

The White House calls the subpoena compelling tech guru Todd Park to testify “unfortunate and unnecessary.”

“We had hoped the committee would work with us to find an alternative date to give Todd time to focus on the immediate task at hand: getting the website fixed,” said Rick Weiss, a spokesman for the White House Office of Science and Technology.

“We are reviewing the subpoena and will respond as appropriate,” Weiss said.

Darrell Issa, the California Republican who chairs the committee, told Park that he was the only administration witness at the November 13 hearing who was “unwilling to appear voluntarily” and noted that he had taken time out to give an interview to the New York Times in early October.
