Foxx Puts Kvaal on Notice: Providing False Information to Congress is a Crime

Press Release

Date: July 4, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Government Operations Education

"Despite executing a "False Statements Certification' wherein you acknowledged that providing materially false information to a committee or subcommittee is a crime … your answers to my questions at the Subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce Development hearing on May 24, 2023, may include false statements."

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

You unequivocally stated three times that the Department had provided an unredacted final copy of the final valuation report prepared by FI Consulting, in spite of my repeated insistence that your statements were inaccurate. Let me be crystal clear: I have never received the final unredacted copy of the report and its accompanying documents, contrary to your assertions on May 24."

"Finally, I note that in my question-and-answer exchange with you at our May 24, 2023, hearing of the Subcommittee, I recounted the long history of my efforts to obtain all documents related to the valuation of the student loan portfolio, including unredacted reports. … I find that lack of responsiveness to Congress patently offensive, particularly in light of the Department's responsiveness to other parties."
