FEC to adopt new policy on deposition transcripts
On the FEC agenda for Thursday's meeting is a proposed policy statement on deposition transcripts in nonpublic investigations. According to The Hill, this is a Sign of Things To Come.
Candidates and witnesses deposed by the FEC’s general counsel will now get access to copies of their depositions rather than, as previously, being forced to read the transcripts at the agency and being banned from taking notes.Commissioners hailed that minor step as an important sign that the agency is serious about reviewing and changing practices that have chafed for years.
