The FBI reportedly delivered subpoenas related to the controversy surrounding alternate electors in the 2020 election to several Republican lawmakers in Pennsylvania on Wednesday.
The action comes after the FBI served a search warrant at the Mar-a-Lago residence of former President Donald Trump in Palm Beach, Florida, prompting his supporters to accuse the Bureau of being politically motivated.
Various sources spoke to Pennlive about the FBI delivering subpoenas or speaking with Pennsylvania Republicans as a part of the investigation into the effort to send alternate electors to the U.S. Capitol to elect Trump rather than President Joe Biden.
Some of the lawmakers who received subpoenas were told they were not themselves the subject of the investigation, the sources told Pennlive.
On Tuesday, Republican Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania said that the FBI had confiscated his cell phone as part of the same investigation.
“They made no attempt to contact my lawyer, who would have made arrangements for them to have my phone if that was their wish. I’m outraged — though not surprised — that the FBI under the direction of Merrick Garland’s DOJ, would seize the phone of a sitting Member of Congress,” Perry said in a statement.
Trump revealed the FBI raid in a scathing statement issued Monday evening and later suggested that the FBI agents were planting evidence. The warrant was served as a part of an investigation into whether Trump illegally destroyed or removed White House documents after leaving office.
Critics of the Biden administration have accused the FBI of being politically motivated in the raid on Trump’s residence. The White House refused to comment on the incident except to say that they were not notified beforehand about the Mar-a-Lago raid.

It is time that we close our recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance with "one nation, under God."
We are irreparably divided.
And there is no longer liberty and justice for ALL
...but only for the chosen: illegal invaders, BLM, Antifa, etc.
There is no legal basis for this at all.
It is NOT illegal to organize, discuss, nominate, or otherwise submit “slates” of “alternate” electors.
It is irrelevant, as only the state legislature or governor can submit a slate of electors (in Hawaii in 1960 BOTH did it) to the Archivist, the Federal Judge in the district of the legislature’s meeting place, and the U.S. Senate. Any “slate” that comes in “over the transom” is not recognized and has no standing at all. But it’s not illegal at all, either.
The pathetic cowardly guppies will climb all over each other trying to be the first to comply with the communists’ subpoena...
The one time Biden wasn’t lying.

It’s not illegal. Dems did it in every election they lost.
