I`m not going to comment on which witness those threatening messages were sent to but obviously, if you read them, there`s an intent to dissuade a witness from testifying honestly. So, this is a concern. And I just want people who would try and interfere with a witness, who would coerce them or threatened them to know, that that is not legal. And we do not intend to just sit by and watch that happen. As to witness intimidation, that`s a crime. And individuals who are trying to protect the president are committing a crime. We intend to take the evidence we get of that and not just sit on it. People ought to be aware that committing the crime of witness tampering is a serious matter. And it`s not going to be ignored.

I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from Michigan (Ms. Stevens), a distinguished member of the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, who did so much work on this.
We have no further requests, so I am happy to urge all Members to vote for the bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.
I want to start off by recognizing that the felony convictions of a former President represent a first for our country and that is solemn. I don't celebrate these convictions.
because of possible retaliatory actions against his family and/or community members.
