The behind-the-scenes negotiations over videotaping witnesses have become a flash point in the weaponization subcommittee’s strategy.
Justice Department officials on Monday threatened to cancel the witnesses appearance
“The Department’s longstanding policy, in place across administrations and accepted across Congresses, has been to make employees available for interviews transcribed in writing to meet Congress’s informational needs. The Department, including the FBI, has and will continue to work diligently to accommodate the Committee’s requests,” the spokeswoman added, without directly addressing the issue of videotaping employees.
Issues with the subcommittee’s process have been raised by at least one former government employee who appeared before the panel earlier this year. That complaint has contributed to the deepening distrust between the committee and the Justice Department, according to people involved.
“The minor technical issues on the video recording of Ms. Sanborn’s interview had no bearing the substance of the interview,” Dye said. “If Ms. Sanborn insists, however, we are happy to have her back in before the Committee.”
