THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE TO KNOW
(Mr. COLLINS of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. COLLINS of Georgia. Madam Speaker, last week, on the floor of
this Chamber, I released a transcript of the interview of Bruce Ohr
from our investigation into apparent wrongdoing at the FBI and DOJ. At
that time I said I would make additional transcripts from the
committee's investigation public, and I am here today to keep that
promise.
As I stated then, our interview transcripts were pertinent to a
congressional investigation, but the 115th Congress ended, the
investigation was closed, and copies were shared with certain Members
of Congress.
Madam Speaker, I include in the Record the link
www.dougcollins.house.gov/page so the American people can review the
transcript of Lisa Page.
The American people deserve to know what transpired in the highest
echelons of the FBI during that tumultuous time for the Bureau.
Out of an abundance of caution, the transcript has a limited number
of narrowly tailored redactions, relating only to confidential sources
and methods, nonpublic information about ongoing investigations, and
nonmaterial personal information.
I will continue to work to release as many transcripts as possible.
The American people deserve transparency.
