Senate testimony
Capitol Hill statements
Senate testimony is a formal statement given before the United States Senate or one of its committees, typically as part of an investigation, confirmation hearing, or legislative process.
Witnesses may testify voluntarily or under subpoena, and testimony is usually given under oath: His Senate testimony contradicted what he had told the FBI.
High-profile Senate testimony often becomes major news, particularly during scandals or Supreme Court confirmations.
