Senate Republicans received an additional briefing on the Silicon Valley Bank collapse Monday after the Treasury Department neglected to invite or inform a number of GOP lawmakers and staff of a hastily scheduled Sunday session.
Treasury officials briefing lawmakers during the Sunday night session admitted on the call that their invitations did not get out to every lawmaker, an aide to Sen. Tim Scott told the Washington Examiner on Monday. Scott, who serves as the top Republican on the Senate Banking Committee, was one of the many GOP lawmakers who did not receive an invite. GOP Banking Committee staffers were also not told of the Sunday briefing.
Sen. Katie Britt , another Senate Banking Republican, lambasted the Biden administration in a statement to Fox News after the Sunday mishap, telling the network,"The public deserves full transparency and accountability without regards to partisanship, and it is unacceptable that this administration excluded Senate Republicans, including those on the Senate Banking Committee, from Sunday night’s bicameral member briefing.
The Scott aide said the Treasury Department agreed to another briefing at noon on Monday in an effort to reach those who were missed.
