Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This Senate resolution authorizes three congressional staff members to testify in a federal criminal case called United States v. Crouse, which is pending in a Texas federal court. The resolution allows Ryan Alban from Senator Ted Budd's office, Lisa Gibbens from Senator Kevin Cramer's office, and Jill Wyman from Senator John Cornyn's office to provide testimony requested by prosecutors in the case. The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent these employees during their testimony to protect Senate privileges and institutional interests. The resolution includes standard protections that allow the staff members to assert privilege and refuse to answer questions about matters that should remain confidential under Senate rules.
