Members of the Registry of Election Finance panel today voted to subpoena former House Speaker Glen Casada, his former aide Cade Cothren and several others as part of a reopened audit of a political action committee, the Tennessean reports. The registry chose to reopen the audit of the Faith Family Freedom Fund PAC after the PAC's treasurer stated under oath that she opened the PAC at Cothren's request, but had no further involvement in its operations. Rep. Todd Warner, R-Chapel Hill, Rep. Charlie Baum, R-Murfreesboro, former Rep. Rick Tillis, and Casada’s longtime assistant Carol Simpson will also be subpoenaed. Members of the board emphasized the subpoenas are intended to gather information and will include any and all records, correspondence and electronic communications of all kinds by and between the subpoenaed individuals.
