The House Homeland Security Committee voted Wednesday to subpoena the Virginia couple who crashed President Obama's first state dinner.
Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said at the hearing that he expects Tareq and Michaele Salahi to appear before the panel on Jan. 20 to testify on the security breach that resulted in the two gaining entry to the party at the White House.
But the committee rejected an effort by its top Republican, Rep. Peter King of New York, to subpoena White House social secretary Desiree Rogers.
The Salahis have refused to appear before the committee, saying they will exercise their Fifth Amendment rights if they are summoned to testify.
