We had to subpoena those records in House oversight and we should be obtaining them next week. But again, you know, that information belongs to the American people. If your taxpayer dollars, to the tune of 18 million, which is I think the current number, are being used to cover sexual harassment, sexual assault settlements, that's not something that we should be paying for. And I definitely don't want to serve with these types of people. I understand, too, playing devil's advocate that people can make false allegations, but given again, the stuff that's come out with Eric Swalwell, given the stuff involving potentially escorts involved, et cetera.
