This was given to the public under a foia request. They had to go to court. They've got a new way of redacting. They don't black things out. They just give you white pages so you don't even know what they have redacted. So again, I've issued a subpoena now to cover the information I've requested in 70 oversight letters. My question to you is, as Secretary, HHS, will you honor these requests from Congress and will you make HHS transparent? (03:38–03:45)

CLAIM

Asserts that federal agencies use a method of redaction that results in white pages.
