I’m heartened that both The House and The Senate committees put out statements signed by the chair and ranking member. This suggests that The Speaker and The Majority Leader approved, at least tacitly, both the announcements and follow up committee actions.

Along with his extinguished career as a cop, he was flagged for a stolen valor issue. An inside baseball issue important to military members but in truth he earned the Army’s Combat Action Badge legitimately while claiming a badge improperly awarded and rescinded for the same action.
