SCOOP: Senate security officials have taken new steps to protect the secrecy of senators’ weekly closed-door lunches after a contract employee was arrested for allegedly recording audio of a GOP lunch in early March, via @JulieNBCNews, @GarrettHaake & I -> nbcnews.com/politics/congr…
@JulieNBCNews @GarrettHaake According to court documents the employee told police that he had been recording the meeting “for multiple hours.” He also claimed that he was married to the VP of Liberia and “wanted to provide his ‘wife’ the VP of Liberia with American political information.”
@JulieNBCNews @GarrettHaake The arrest prompted security officials to institute new protocols for contractors and service staff, including a requirement for workers to leave cell phones in cabinets outside of the party meeting rooms before entering Senate lunches.

Super excited to share a piece six-months in the making:

FACES OF THE INVESTIGATION - a photo essay on the House Jan 6th Committee's work, the members who conducted the investigation, and those who step forward to tell their stories.

LINK HERE: nbcnews.com/specials/jan-6…
The piece is culled from hundreds of negatives, with portraits shot with a large-format film camera of over a dozen people involved in the Jan 6 Ctme's investigation on large-format film.

A huge shoutout to @ZarakatZ & @chelseastahl for launching me on the piece, their direction was invaluable.

And @mimms, who collaborated on the text for the piece, which she wrote using the exclusive interviews conducted over the last six months.

Senate Minority Whip THUNE on the Fuentes/Trump dinner: “Well, that's just a bad idea on every level. I don't know who is—who's advising him on his staff, but I hope that whoever that person was got fired.”
BLUNT: “Well, I wouldn't want to have dinner with either one of those guys.” (Kanye or Fuentes)

NRSC Chair DAINES: “We cannot tolerate antisemitism, period.”
Rick Scott: “There's no room in the Republican Party for white supremacist anti semitism, so it’s wrong.”

Portman: “It was wrong & inappropriate to have that meeting, white supremacy has no place in our nation's culture & it’s antithetical to anything we stand for as Americans.”

If the Senate (eventually) passes the bill it would then go to the House.
Vote is ongoing but there are four GOP YESes at the moment:
Collins

Tillis
Sen Burr a YES

Vote ongoing.
