Mr. McConnell (for himself and Mr. Schumer) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to
RESOLUTION
To authorize document production by the Select Committee on Intelligence in United States v. Paul J. Manafort, Jr. (D.D.C.)
Whereas, the prosecution in United States v. Paul J. Manafort, Jr., Cr. No. 17–201, currently pending in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, has requested a copy of a transcript of an interview of W. Samuel Patten conducted by the Select Committee on Intelligence;
Whereas, by the privileges of the Senate of the United States and Rule XI of the Standing Rules of the Senate, no evidence under the control or in the possession of the Senate can, by administrative or judicial process, be taken from such control or possession but by permission of the Senate;
Whereas, when it appears that documents, papers, and records under the control or in the possession of the Senate may promote the administration of justice, the Senate will take such action as will promote the ends of justice consistent with the privileges of the Senate: Now, therefore, be it
That the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, acting jointly, are authorized to provide to the prosecution in United States v. Paul J. Manafort, Jr., under appropriate security procedures, a copy of the transcript of the Committee's interview of W. Samuel Patten and exhibits referenced in the interview.
