Shays Calls on DoJ
to Investigate Perjury Claims Against Roger Clemens
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Christopher Shays (CT-4),
a senior member of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee,
today joined Chairman Henry Waxman and Ranking Member Tom
Davis in calling on the Department of Justice (DoJ) to investigate
whether Roger Clemens committed perjury and made knowingly
false statements during the Committee's investigation of the
use of steroids and performance-enhancing drugs in professional
baseball.
“Given that the depositions and testimony of Andy Pettitte
and Brian McNamee to the Committee directly contradicts the
testimony of Mr. Clemens, it seems to me the Justice Department
should investigate the questions these contradictions raise,”
stated Shays.
Copies of Shays’ letter and the Waxman-Davis letter
are attached.
