Metro has received two grand jury subpoenas as part of the federal investigation into Jack Evans, officials said Thursday. It was the first confirmation that the probe extends to Evans’s work as Metro board chairman in addition to his activities as a D.C. Council member. Altogether, the law firm identified 16 violations of the Metro ethics code and Metro Compact, its founding document. In the meantime, Tom Bulger, an alternate board member representing the District, will fill the spots on a temporary basis. A letter outlining the recommendations was signed by Crawford and ethics committee members Smedberg and David Horner, who represents the federal government.
