Steny Hoyer: “I will say to the gentleman that I don't accept his premise that Mr. Schiff or the committee spied on anybody. They do…”

On the recordDecember 6, 2019
I will say to the gentleman that I don't accept his premise that Mr. Schiff or the committee spied on anybody. They do have records, apparently. The gentleman asked me how deep my knowledge is. And I will tell him, frankly, not very deep. But I do not accept his premise that either Mr. Schiff, personally, or the committee spied on people. They did receive information as a result of subpoenas and discovery with reference to what was going on, what were the facts, but I would have to get greater knowledge of the information to give the gentleman a broader response than that in terms of volume or substance.
