Former pharmaceuticals executive and hedge fund honcho Martin Shkreli has been ordered to testify on Capitol Hill next week.  

The 32-year-old notoriously flamboyant tweeter shared a subpoena requesting his testimony on Jan. 26 at 10 a.m. at the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

In December, the former CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals was arrested of securities fraud charges in a ponzi-like scheme but was freed on a $5 million bond. The committee's note is dated Jan. 11. On Wednesday, Shkreli fired his lawyers on the case. Shkreli knows a thing or two about politics, though. He tweeted at the committee's ranking member, Rep. Elijah E. Cummings D-Md., about what he calls his upcoming “chit chat.”
