AUTHORIZING TESTIMONY AND REPRESENTATION IN UNITED STATES V.
GOSSJANKOWSKI
Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate
proceed to the immediate consideration of S. Res. 64, which was
submitted earlier today.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the resolution by title.
The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows:
A resolution (S. Res. 64) to authorize testimony and
representation in United States v. GossJankowski.
There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the
resolution.
Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, in this criminal case pending in Federal
district court in the District of Columbia and arising out of the
events of January 6, 2021, the prosecution has requested testimony from
a Senate witness.
In this case brought against Vitali GossJankowski trial is expected
to commence on February 27, 2023, and the prosecution has requested
testimony from Daniel Schwager, formerly counsel to the Secretary of
the Senate, concerning his knowledge and observations of the process
and constitutional and legal bases for Congress' counting of the
Electoral College votes. Senate Secretary Berry would like to cooperate
with this request by providing relevant testimony in this trial from
Mr. Schwager.
In keeping with the rules and practices of the Senate, this
resolution would authorize the production of relevant testimony from
Mr. Schwager, with representation by the Senate legal counsel.
Mr. SCHUMER. I further ask that the resolution be agreed to, the
preamble be agreed to, and the motions to reconsider be considered made
and laid upon the table with no intervening action or debate.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
The resolution (S. Res. 64) was agreed to.
The preamble was agreed to.
(The resolution, with its preamble, is printed in today's Record
under ``Submitted Resolutions.'')
