During a recent congressional investigation, Chairman Jim Jordan addressed the issue of transcripts, emphasizing that all members have complete access to the transcripts of the proceedings. He pointed out that any member, including Mr. Ivey, could attend depositions and review all relevant transcripts. Jordan highlighted his own regular attendance at these sessions as an example of the accessibility of the information.
However, Jordan noted a discrepancy in access to certain transcripts and audio tapes. Specifically, he mentioned that the committee only had access to the transcripts of certain witnesses, such as Mr. Biden, and was seeking access to the audio recordings of all witnesses. This request for additional materials was a key point of contention during the investigation.
Despite the importance of obtaining these audio tapes, Jordan's remarks were interrupted as he requested the gentleman to yield the floor, indicating that it was not his allocated speaking time. This exchange highlighted the procedural complexities and disagreements that can arise during congressional investigations.
