Governor Murphy has been subpoenaed by the federal government in connection with comments he made earlier this year, saying he offered to house a woman above his garage whose legal status in the country was uncertain.

That subpoena reportedly coming from the FBI, according to the New York Times, that said Governor Murphy has yet to be questioned.

But interim U.S. attorney for New Jersey Alina Haba announced when she first took the role that she would be investigating Murphy and New Jersey's Attorney General Matt Platkin over the state's immigration policies.

That same promise was made by President Trump's border czar, Tom Homan, who said he'd look into Governor Murphy's comments at the time that they were made.

Governor Murphy later walked back the statement, saying the woman he referenced was in the country legally and never actually lived at his home.

The investigation into the governor and attorney general follow a pattern by Haba of pursuing legal action against Democratic leadership in the state, including the arrest and charges against Newark Mayor Raz Baraka, which Haba later dropped, and the ongoing charges against Congresswoman Lamonica McIver.
