What action can the Attorney General take during an investigation?

The Attorney General has the authority to subpoena documents during an investigation, which is a critical tool for gathering necessary evidence and information. This power allows the Attorney General to compel individuals or entities to produce relevant documents, records, or other evidence that might shed light on the matter being investigated. The ability to issue subpoenas is essential in ensuring that the investigation is thorough and that all pertinent information is acquired.

Subpoenaing documents helps ensure transparency and accountability, allowing the Attorney General to build a comprehensive case based on the findings collected. This action is typically part of the investigative process to establish facts, assess compliance with laws, or gather information that could support further legal actions.
