Democrat Zoe Lofgren of California, a member of the committee, told reporters that the reason for the rescheduling was due to “technical issues” and “not a big deal.”
“They’re just technical issues,” he said. “You know the staff, putting together all the videos. You know how to do it, one, two, three, it was overwhelming. So we’re trying to give them some space.”
