Former FBI lawyer Lisa Page may find herself in contempt after not appearing Wednesday on Capitol Hill, despite an effort by her attorney to explain her no-show.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., said on Fox News Wednesday afternoon that Page has been in “complete defiance” of Congress for seven months, refusing to cooperate with investigators.
Goodlatte and House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., sent a letter to the Justice Department on Dec. 19, 2017 requesting Page be made available for a transcribed interview. The two chairmen again asked for Page’s cooperation in an April 16 letter.
In June, Goodlatte and Gowdy then wrote a letter to Page’s attorney Amy Jeffress asking that Page be made available immediately for a transcribed interview.
According to Goodlatte, counsel for the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees have been in contact with Jeffress “for nearly a month now” about Wednesday’s appearance.
