evidence_text: Representative Rigas moved that the House Oversight Committee authorize the Chair of the committee to execute a subpoena to Ms. LaResha Thornton. Members of this committee have been investigating several issues involving the Michigan Department of Corrections. The House Oversight Committee and, more broadly, the House of Representatives, has a clear legislative purpose in examining the conditions at MDOC facilities. Depending on the findings of such an investigation, members of the House may desire to sponsor legislation to address the treatment of individuals in MDOC custody. Ms. Thornton is a former employee of the MDOC, and she has agreed to testify before this Committee. However, she has asked to be subpoenaed by this body. The party to be subpoenaed is Ms. LaResha Thornton, to appear and testify before the House Oversight Committee. The motion prevailed 16-0-0: FAVORABLE ROLL CALL Yeas: Reps. DeBoyer, Bierlein, Meerman, Paquette, Carra, Bruck, Rigas, Woolford, St. Germaine, Miller, Pohutsky, Conlin, MacDonell, Mentzer, Tsernoglou and Wegela. Nays: None. Pass: None. The Chair laid before the committee a report on subpoenaed documents from the Office of the Attorney General. Catherine Edwards, Kasey Markarian, and Omar Shajrah, representing the Michigan House Legal Counsel, provided a report on the subpoenaed documents from the Office of the Attorney General. Questions and discussion followed.


evidence_text: Chair DeBoyer moved that the House Oversight Committee authorize the Chair of the committee to execute a subpoena to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. In accordance with the Oversight Committee’s Special Rules, I state the following in support of the motion: 1. The information being sought is necessary to the work of the Committee because: The two previous subpoenas from this Committee to the Department of Attorney General involved criminal investigations that presented issues regarding conflicts of interest between the Department of Attorney General and the suspects of the criminal referral and criminal investigation. The Michigan House of Representatives has an interest in obtaining documents regarding these closed investigations, as the House examines and debates whether to enact legislation addressing how conflicts of interest such as this should be regulated by statute. Furthermore, the House has the ability to impeach civil officers of the State of Michigan, where corrupt conduct in office occurs. In order to faithfully exercise its responsibilities in this regard, the House is entitled to investigate the Department of Attorney General’s decision to decline issuing criminal charges in these matters, which involved either a family member of the Attorney General, or a high-ranking officer of a major political party of this state. 2. Previous efforts made to obtain the information being sought are as follows: To pursue this committee’s investigation into the conduct of the Attorney General, the committee’s investigators have taken a deep dive into the cases that the Attorney General’s office was supposed to investigate. It has come to the committee’s attention that the Department of Health and Human Services is in possession of records pertinent to this committee’s investigation of the Attorney General. On November 13, 2025, the House Deputy General Counsel requested those records from DHHS. On November 14, 2025, the DHHS’s legislative liaison replied that the Legislature was required to file a FOIA request in order to obtain any documents sought from DHHS. On November 15, 2025, the Deputy General Counsel forwarded the request and the initial DHHS response to the Division Director of the Operations and Assistance Legal Division of DHHS, in the Bureau of Legal Affairs. On November 22, 2025, the Chief Operating Officer of the DHHS replied, and stated that a written request for documents from the House Deputy General Counsel did not count as a written request from the legislature, and that the documents could not be disclosed, unless DHHS receives either a FOIA request or a subpoena from the House of Representatives. To date, no documents have been disclosed by DHHS to the House of Representatives or the House Oversight Committee. 3. The party to be subpoenaed is Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, and the record keeper for the Adult Protective Services division. 4. The subpoena will be for all documents in the possession of Adult Protective Services related to a deceased individual, Rosalene Burd, and the subpoena will specify that those documents are to be provided without redaction. The motion prevailed 15-1-1: FAVORABLE ROLL CALL Yeas: Reps. DeBoyer, Bierlein, Meerman, Paquette, Carra, Bruck, Rigas, Schriver, Woolford, St. Germaine, Miller, Pohutsky, Conlin, Mentzer and Wegela. Nays: Rep. Tsernoglou. Pass: Rep. MacDonell. At 11:02 AM, the Chair laid the committee at ease. At 11:16 AM, the Chair called the committee back to order. The Chair returned to the report on the subpoenaed documents from the Office of the Attorney General presented by Catherine Edwards, Kasey Markarian, and Omar Shajrah, representing the Michigan House Legal Counsel. Questions and discussion followed.


evidence_text: Representative Woolford moved that the House Committee on Oversight recommend to the House of Representatives that the Attorney General Dana Nessel be held in contempt of the legislature. The motion prevailed 10-6-0: FAVORABLE ROLL CALL Yeas: Reps. DeBoyer, Bierlein, Meerman, Paquette, Carra, Bruck, Rigas, Schriver, Woolford and St. Germaine. Nays: Reps. Pohutsky, Conlin, MacDonell, Mentzer, Tsernoglou and Wegela. Pass: None.


evidence_text: Chair DeBoyer moved that the House Oversight Committee authorize the Chair of the committee to execute a subpoena to Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and the Department of the Attorney General. The subpoenas would require Attorney General Nessel to produce unredacted documents that were the subject of two previous subpoenas from this Committee to the Department of Attorney General. In accordance with the Oversight Committee’s Special Rules, I state the following in support of the motion: 1. The information being sought is necessary to the work of the Committee because: The two previous subpoenas from this Committee to the Department of Attorney General involved criminal investigations that presented issues regarding conflicts of interest between the Department of Attorney General and the suspects of the criminal referral and criminal investigation. The Michigan House of Representatives has an interest in obtaining documents regarding these closed investigations, as the House examines and debates whether to enact legislation addressing how conflicts of interest such as this should be regulated by statutory law. Furthermore, the House has the ability to impeach civil officers of the State of Michigan, where corrupt conduct in office occurs. In order to faithfully exercise its responsibilities in this regard, the House is entitled to investigate the Department of Attorney General’s decision to decline issuing criminal charges in these matters, which involved either a family member of the Attorney General, or a high-ranking officer of a major political party of this state. 2. Previous efforts made to obtain the information being sought are as follows: On July 22, 2025, this Committee voted 15-0 to authorize a document subpoena to the Department of Attorney General for documents regarding a criminal referral from the Michigan Department of State for an alleged violation of the Michigan Campaign Finance Act by an organization called Bipartisan Solutions, and any investigation into potential criminal activity regarding that referral. Also, on July 22, 2025, this Committee voted 17-0 to authorize a document subpoena to the Department of Attorney General for documents regarding an investigation into potential criminal activity by an individual named Traci Kornak. These two subpoenas required the production of documents by August 5, 2025. The Department of Attorney General provided documents to the House Oversight Committee on or about September 11, 2025. However, as you have seen from today’s presentation, those documents were redacted. Despite the communications to my office from the Attorney General’s staff claiming that the Attorney General had no involvement in these two cases, we saw today emails sent by Dana Nessel personally, including one email that is completely redacted. 3. The parties to be subpoenaed are and the Department of Attorney General and Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. 4. The subpoenas will direct that the Attorney General Nessel produce the documents listed on the two subpoenas previously sent by this Committee to the Department of Attorney General, and to do so without redaction. The motion prevailed 14-1-1: FAVORABLE ROLL CALL Yeas: Reps. DeBoyer, Bierlein, Meerman, Paquette, Carra, Bruck, Rigas, Schriver, Woolford, St. Germaine, Pohutsky, Conlin, Mentzer and Wegela.
