WASHINGTON -- A federal grand jury has issued subpoenas to a Republican campaign committee and Nevada firms in a probe of Sen. John Ensign, under scrutiny for his efforts to find lobbying work for the husband of his former mistress.

One subpoena went to the National Republican Senatorial Committee, formerly chaired by Mr. Ensign, R-Nev., committee spokesman Brian Walsh said. General counsel Sean Cairncross said the committee responded appropriately to questions concerning matters in the time frame of the 2008 election campaign.
