WASHINGTON -- Congress wants to be prepared when
Roger Clemens and his former trainer, Brian McNamee, head to Capitol
Hill.
The House hearing involving Clemens, McNamee and Andy Pettitte
was postponed Wednesday from Jan. 16 until Feb. 13, giving
lawmakers more time to gather evidence and to coordinate their
investigation with the Justice Department.
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform was to
begin meeting with lawyers for the witnesses Thursday. Clemens'
attorney, Rusty Hardin, said he hopes to meet with committee
staffers next week. In addition, McNamee is to meet with federal
prosecutors Thursday in New York.
"Roger hasn't done anything," Hardin said. "The federal
government looking at Roger is fine with me."
