Riverside County Supervisor John Benoit will testify before the Riverside County grand jury on Friday, but has not been told what they're investigating. Benoit will be questioned at 8:30 a.m. Friday in Riverside.
The subpoena, which arrived last week, did not provide insight into the grand jury's probe.
But Benoit's chief of staff, Michelle DeArmond, said the supervisor “has no reason to believe he's a target for anything.”
“There's nothing that gives him any concern,” DeArmond said Wednesday. “He's simply responding to the subpoena.”
Riverside County district attorney spokesman Michael Jeandron said it was office policy not to confirm or deny such questioning because of the “confidential nature of any ongoing grand jury.”
It was not clear Wednesday evening whether Benoit was appearing before a civil or a criminal grand jury.
Benoit represents the Riverside County's fourth district, which includes most of the Coachella Valley.
