I have absolutely not seen any indication of a deficit of empathy.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. The problem is that this is not the way we are supposed to go about the business of oversight. Contempt resolutions are generally something that happens deep inside and deep within an ongoing…

On February 23 in Laredo, Texas, Speaker Pelosi said, there is no national emergency at the border.

It does not take multiple people to get 400 pages, particularly when those pages are filled with redactions.

What is the legal basis for redacting basic answers to questions?
