Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., also urged criminal prosecutions of reporters. "Why not send a subpoena to the reporter?" Gowdy said. "Put them in front of a grand jury. You either answer a question or you're going to be held in contempt and go to jail, which is what I thought all reporters aspire to anyway." |
