What the committee has produced

The committee has said it released roughly 65,000 pages of documents, including the Barr and Acosta transcripts, and received tens of thousands of pages from the Justice Department.

Where a row says the outcome is not established, it means we have not found a primary record showing whether the deposition happened. We would rather say that than guess.
