( The New Republic) Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia said she would use the immunity granted to her by the Constitution to reveal names from the investigation on the House floor. ( Axios) The GOP-controlled House of Representatives did pass a symbolic-some might say meaningless-resolution affirming the Oversight Committee's investigation into the case. ( Politico)"
