Republican megadonor Harlan Crow and conservative activist Leonard Leo have been subpoenaed by the Senate Judiciary Committee to comply with their investigation into the ethics of the Supreme Court after months of allegations that justices failed to disclose their substantial financial ties.
On Thursday, 11 Democrats, led by Chairman Dick Durbin, voted in favour of issuing the subpoenas after a contentious hearing resulted in nearly all of the Republican members walking out.
