“CORNISH: How significant is New York’s move to launch an investigation, to issue these subpoenas? BRITO: So it’s interesting, people hear the word subpoena and they think something bad, right? But all the word subpoena means is that it is a request for information, right? And you’re compelled to, you know, produce, you know, you’re asked questions and you have to answer them. And I think that’s very good. [..] So when I see New York issuing these subpoenas, being very transparent about the fact that they’re going to be looking at this and asking for input, you know, I think that’s very good.”
