Rep. Schiff: If We Bring Back Comey, Rogers for Testimony, It Must Be in an Open Session

EXCERPT:

SCHIFF: "He has also announced that he wants to bring back directors Comey and Rogers for closed session. We welcome at any time bringing the former directors back in closed session. We don’t welcome cutting off the public access to information when we have witnesses as these three very important witnesses who are willing and scheduled to testify in open session. We also made the offer rejected by the majority that we could have these three witnesses testify in open session, and if there are questions members wanted to ask in closed session, that we could then go to a closed portion of the hearing. In fact, this is just what we do in the worldwide threats hearings often, where we have open testimony followed by testimony in closed session.”
