Quick Insights on Congressional Investigations
is a video interview series hosted by Mayer Brown partners Michael
Levy and Andrew Olmem, who on a weekly basis unpack the nuanced
complexities underlying congressional investigations and provide
guidance on how companies can manage and minimize the impacts. Each
episode is short and tackles one question relating to congressional
investigations.
In this episode, Michael and Andrew delve into the consequences of
lying to Congress from a legal and practical perspective. Beyond
the obvious situations that involve knowingly lying under oath
while testifying at a congressional hearing, there are also legal
ramifications for concealing material facts or knowingly submitting
documents that contain false statements. Michael and Andrew walk
through these risk areas and how to guard against them in the
course of a congressional investigation.
