Rep. Michael Burgess (R-Texas) has revealed that House Democrats are still withholding transcripts of depositions that were carried out several months ago in Congress’s Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility during their impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
“According to House rules, any committee hearing, the transcript is supposed to be available to other House members. But they have not done so, and no one has asserted that these are classified briefings,” he told Fox News on Friday. “They were just simply secret hearings because it behooved the speaker to have secret hearings. That doesn’t pass muster. That’s not a constitutional part of the process.”
