The Senate, sitting as an impeachment court, recently granted the House prosecution’s request to subpoena the bank and tax records of Vice President Sara Duterte and her husband, Manases Carpio, in connection with allegations of unexplained wealth under Article II of the impeachment complaint. In approving the request, Senate Impeachment Court Presiding Officer Francis Escudero ruled that the documents were “reasonably described, readily identifiable, and prima facie relevant and material” to the issues before the court.
