US EditionSubpoenas Issued For PA Gov. Shapiro Home Improvement, Flight Records
GOP-led committee demands detailed records on $1 million in security upgrades and charter flights after an arson attack, citing months of stonewalling over taxpayer spending.
- In Harrisburg on Tuesday, the Senate Intergovernmental Operations Committee issued three subpoenas to the Pennsylvania State Police, the open records officer in the local township of Shapiro's private residence, and the charter flight company, seeking records related to $1 million in security upgrades and flights, with compliance due by Jan. 16, 2026.
- After an April attack on the Governor's Residence, security upgrades followed Pennsylvania State Police recommendations amid months of stonewalling by state and local agencies.
- Records sought include detailed vendor invoices such as $311,230 for a security system and a $446,000 purchase order with $288,736 for landscaping, plus Pennsylvania State Police body-camera footage from Sept. 20–Nov. 19, 2025.
- The action passed on a 7-4 party-line vote, and committee Democrats called it a 'fishing expedition,' with Sen. Vincent Hughes, Democrat, saying `This smells of a witch hunt, it smells of a witch hunt trying to find something that is not there`.
- Sen. Jarrett Coleman said the move is about setting a precedent to ensure oversight of future governors' security spending, while supporters stress nonpartisan oversight and critics warn of privacy risks for Shapiro and his neighbors amid rising threats to high-profile officials.
