Mike Levin: “The document in question had been brought to the committees, and I am now here quoting the letter, prior to its being…”

“The document in question had been brought to the committees, and I am now here quoting the letter, prior to its being delivered pursuant to the threat of contempt of the Attorney General, that these documents, according to the letter, were made ``available for committee review only as a result of the committee's subpoena; we brought them to the committee's offices for review three times and advised the staff that we would return with them as often as necessary to accommodate the committee's oversight needs. We would prefer to continue to provide these core deliberative documents to the committee on that basis.'' But then they go on to say, ``In light of the committee's announced intention to hold the Attorney General of the United States in contempt of Congress, we are forwarding these documents to you.'' They have previously shared the document with Members three times. So to attribute leaks to any particular source without evidence under these circumstances, it seems to me, is without foundation. No. 2, I may have misheard the Senator from Utah on this. I may have misheard the Senator from Utah on another point. If I did, then I would stand corrected. I believe, however, that the Senator from Utah said that he had deposited checks that belonged to the Travel Office for 30 years in his own account.”
