Trey Gowdy, Chair of the House Oversight Committee, believes that Comey's testimony should be recorded and made public.

Trey Gowdy, representative of South Carolina and chairman of the government's oversight committee and reform of the Chamber of Deputies, said Sunday that he was confident that the testimony expected before the former FBI Congress , James Comey, should be videotaped and made public. Appearing on "Face the Nation", Gowdy stated that he did not subscribe to Comey's willingness to testify in open court.

Comey, with former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, were summoned to appear The chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the House, Bob Goodlatte, on Wednesday asked the House to testify at a hearing, not at a hearing, in early December. In a Thanksgiving morning tweetComey said he would "resist" a question-in-camera session but was "happy to sit in the light and answer all the questions."

Gowdy, in "Face the Nation," said that he shared the view of Comey's lawyer that in-camera interviews with Congress are often the subject of selective leaks to political ends. But "the cure for leaks is not to hold a public hearing at which you are supposed to ask about 17 months of work in five minutes," said Gowdy. "I think the cure is to videotape the videotaped videotape, so the audience will be able to see if the question is correct and they will be able to judge the completeness of the answer. "

"There is no investigator on the planet who is trying to uncover the truth in five-minute increments," Gowdy said of the congressional public hearings. "I'm sensitive to leaks, I hate leaks, I think they undermine the authenticity of the investigation, but the cure is not to create a fight-type carnival atmosphere, which have become the public hearings of Congress. "

Gowdy, who is leaving Congress, has drawn national attention and conservative praise for leading a House committee on the 2012 terrorist attack on an American compound in Benghazi, Libya, at its long public hearing at which Hillary Clinton testified.

House Republicans are currently investigating the FBI's actions for the 2016 presidential election. The subpoenas between Comey and Lynch follow a New York Times article that says President Trump wanted to order Justice to sue Comey and Clinton.

On "Face the Nation," Gowdy said he would make a "formal offer" to Comey to broadcast a video of his private testimony when he was chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. He rejected Comey's appeal for a public hearing. "The FBI has never conducted an interview in public, ever," he said.

In addition, Gowdy said that Congress must act quickly using the personal emails of Ivanka Trump, daughter of Mr. Trump and senior advisor to the White House. Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill will scrutinize Her email was used at the White House in light of new revelations that she had sent hundreds of messages about government activities from this account last year.

Gowdy and his counterpart in the Senate, Homeland Security Committee Chair Ron Johnson, sent letters to the White House requesting information on official emails exchanged on Ivanka Trump's personal account and certifying that the emails had been kept. according to federal law.

"We need the information and we need it quickly, and then the public can judge," said Gowdy.

Gowdy, a former federal prosecutor, also said that he was not in agreement with Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts, according to which judges do not have political links. Last week, Roberts rejected Trump's description of a judge who ruled against the president's new asylum policy as "Obama judge."

It was the first time the head of the federal judiciary criticized the president, saying that the United States did not have "Obama judges or Trump, Bush or Clinton judges".

"I would like Chief Justice Roberts to be right," Gowdy said. "I wish we had not mentioned the judges on the basis of which the president named them as if it would lead us inextricably to the conclusion, but … it's been 50 years since we used political terms to describe judges. "

"President Trump is not the first person to do it," Gowdy said.
