The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE THE TRUTH” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Justice was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H2945-H2946 on April 2, 2019.
The Department is one of the oldest in the US, focused primarily on law enforcement and the federal prison system. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, detailed wasteful expenses such as $16 muffins at conferences and board meetings.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE THE TRUTH
(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, thus far, I have released five transcripts from the Committee on the Judiciary's investigation into apparent wrongdoing at the FBI and the Justice Department. Today, I am releasing the sixth.
The American people deserve transparency. They deserve to know what transpired at the highest levels of the FBI and at the origin of the probe into President Trump's campaign.
Madam Speaker, I include the link www.dougcollins.house.gov/priestap in the Record so the American people can review the transcripts of Bill Priestap's interview.
Out of an abundance of caution, this transcript has a limited number of narrowly tailored redactions related 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 the truth.
