Stearns and other Republicans on the Energy and Commerce Committee are conducting an investigation into the Solyndra loan guarantee. Republicans on the panel voted in July to subpoena OMB for documents related to the loan guarantee. Though OMB ultimately complied with the subpoena, House Republicans are now pressing the White House for more documents.
Stearns hinted Tuesday that Republicans would consider subpoenaing the White House again if it does not comply with their latest documents request.
Republicans will broaden the investigation to include Energy Department loan guarantees for other projects, Stearns said.
