I think that is a very important story, because it is easy for people to understand when we tell them that in Bastogne, Members of Congress, House and Senate, Generals, high above the people we’re throwing nuts at the crowd of people, and they were happy to receive them — and the narrative that went with them, the courage of General McAuliffe speaking, for his men and women – for his men in uniform at that time. So thank you for affording us this opportunity to participate in appreciation of our veterans in a very, very special way in this very American city in Belgium.

The Courts have repeatedly reaffirmed the Congress’s authority to conduct oversight on behalf of the American people, and have specifically recognized that the Committees’ subpoenas of the President’s financial records are valid and enforceable. As the Courts have made clear, there are no special privileges for information unrelated to the President’s official duties, but squarely related to Congress’s need for legislation and oversight.
