PHILADELPHIA — State Sen. Doug Mastriano, the Republican nominee for governor in Pennsylvania, had a very brief visit Tuesday with the congressional committee investigating the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
His attorney, Timothy Parlatore, confirmed that Mastriano spent fewer than 15 minutes speaking to the Jan. 6 committee in a teleconference.
Parlatore, who insisted on being allowed to record Mastriano’s session, claims the committee lacks the legal authority to compel testimony. The committee last week refused to allow the recording.
