Latest Action · June 4, 2025
Submitted in the Senate, considered, and agreed to without amendment and with a preamble by Unanimous Consent. (consideration: CR S3237; text: CR S3236)
This resolution authorizes a Senate staff member to testify and provide documents in a federal employment dispute case involving the Architect of the Capitol. Specifically, it allows Nichole Kotschwar, Deputy Staff Director of the Senate Rules Committee, to comply with a subpoena issued by plaintiffs in the case, which is pending in federal court in Washington, D.C. The resolution also authorizes the Senate Legal Counsel to represent Kotschwar during her testimony and document production. The authorization comes with the caveat that Kotschwar may still assert legal privileges or objections where appropriate. This type of resolution is routine when Senate employees are subpoenaed in legal cases, as it formally grants permission for them to participate while protecting Senate institutional interests.
