"Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), the chairman of the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, called out his Republican colleague, Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), for claiming during a Wednesday hearing that he had a recording to prove fired CDC Director Susan Monarez was lying. Mullin made the bombshell claim during Monarez's testimony before the committee about her firing, just a month after the Senate confirmed her to the post, which President Donald Trump appointed her."
"It was a recorded meeting, so you can testify one way, or you can prove that you're lying and I'm giving you the opportunity to be honest here, because you've been really walking around the edges and not being truthful, Mullin told Morarez during his time to question her. He told me he could not trust me and I told him, if he could not trust me, he could fire me, Monarez insisted, repeating her claim on the topic."
"I will also note If HHS has a recording, I ask them to release the recording. I'd also like to know why it was recorded. But releasing the recording would be radical transparency. And this is about fulfilling the president's vision of radical transparency; this is allegiance to President Trump's values. And so I'd ask that that recording be released."
Sen. Markwayne Mullin claimed during a committee hearing that he had a recording proving fired CDC Director Susan Monarez was lying about her firing. Monarez testified she was fired by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. after she refused to fire key staffers and refused to rubber‑stamp his vaccine recommendations. Mullin told Monarez the meeting was recorded and urged her to be honest. Monarez said Kennedy told her he could not trust her and that he could fire her. Sen. Bill Cassidy said materials provided to a senator for committee business are committee records and requested that any HHS recording be released.
