Court papers filed late Tuesday demand that McCarthy turn over any emails, text messages, phone records or social media exchanges he had with Sandi Jackson, as well as details of any financial or sexual relationships they might have had.
Two other men — Chicago cop James Love and McCarthy business partner Richard Simon — are also targeted in identical subpoenas.
Jesse Jackson Jr.'s lawyer, Brendan Hammer, last month alleged that Sandi Jackson committed "acts" in Illinois that led her husband to file for divorce but declined to say what those acts were, mysteriously commenting only that the acts "could be from the benign, to the sublime, to the malign."
Neither McCarthy nor the other two men nor Sandi Jackson's attorney immediately responded to requests for comment. But the development is likely to raise eyebrows and increase attention on a case that was already high profile.
The increasingly bitter divorce comes after the Jacksons' dramatic fall from power. Both served prison time after they were convicted of a scheme in which Jackson Jr. violated federal campaign law by using campaign funds to make personal purchases, including a fedora that once belonged to Michael Jackson and cashmere capes.
Jackson Jr. filed for divorce in Chicago last year while his wife was still in prison. She later filed her own divorce case in Washington, D.C., where she is living with the couple's two children.
