Barrage of subpoenas spreads throughout Capitol in Harrisburg, PA

HARRISBURG — State lawmakers and legislative staffers on Thursday were subpoenaed by former House Democratic Whip Mike Veon and other defendants in a legislative corruption scandal, an attorney involved in the case said.
At least 39 subpoenas were served at the Capitol offices of lawmakers of both parties. Some said as many as 100 were served. Those served are required to appear at a hearing next week on the defendants' pretrial motions.
Receiving a subpoena from defense lawyers does not mean the recipient is suspected of wrongdoing by authorities.
"It's our understanding that over 100 members and staff received subpoenas," said Brett Marcy, a spokesman for House Democrats. "It is also our understanding that both Democrats and Republicans were served."
