House Commerce Committee: Sen Grassley Gets LightSquared Documents

The House Commerce Committee turned over LightSquared-related documents to Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa). "We actually shared documents today," said a committee spokesperson.

"We are continuing to work together, and we will have additional updates to share as we assess the information that has been delivered and what additional documents are needed for our investigations." Sen Grassley has said that if he got the documents from the Federal Communications Commission, whether directly or through the request from the committee, he would consider lifting his hold on FCC nominees Ajit Paui and Jessica Rosenworcel, who sailed through their Senate Commerce Committee nomination hearing last fall with bipartisan support and are expected to be confirmed by the full Senate if/when they get to a vote. "We did get documents," said a Grassley spokesperson. "The hold stands pending document review."
