The inherent unpredictability of the congressional investigations process, often coupled with intense media scrutiny, means clients responding to Congress must navigate one of the most difficult landscapes in Washington. Essential steps in responding to a congressional investigation include:
- Engaging strategically and effectively with Congress at the Committee, Member, and staff levels, and negotiating an appropriate scope for congressional inquiries
- Executing (as necessary) an affirmative and responsive press strategy
- Preparing for testimony at congressional hearings
