Apparently Senator Gilibrand (D) and Senator Hawley (R) have found something they can agree on — secret SAPs (Special Access Programs) having to do with UFOs and ETs need congressional oversight:

Senator Hawley full quote: “The takeaway from [the spring's UAP briefings] is, they had thousands of sightings of these things over the years, which was news to me. So I'm not surprised, necessarily, by these latest [whistleblower] allegations, because it sounds pretty close to what they kind of grudgingly admitted to us in the briefing. It's not good. None of it's good. I think we want to get to the bottom of this. I think it's disturbing.”
Lots of other Congressional quotes in this article too, from both sides of the aisle.
Why am I sensing another NYT or CNN Special Report in our near future?
Matt Ford: "Most people are unaware that David Grusch testified in a SCIF, in a classified setting, with both intelligence committees. What we are about to tell you is not public knowledge. Multiple sources confirmed that David Grusch's Congressional testimony occurred in December 2022, at the Top Secret Sensitive Compartmented Information level.
"On the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, while no congressmen attended the briefing, over twenty congressional staffers, committee lawyers, Grusch and the Inspector General representative, were present. With their classified laptops, these staffers took notes while David Grusch testified for four hours.
"Now, things were different at the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and his is important. Grusch testified for over eight hours. Who was in the room for Grusch's eight-hour testimony in December? Grusch, the Inspector General representative, a court reporter, and two committee lawyers. That's it. Five people. Where were the Senate staffers? They were not permitted to attend. Think about it: On the House side, you had over twenty people in a SCIF. And on the Senate side? Five.
"The two committee attorneys locked the room down so Senate staffers could not attend. That is some seriously, shady gatekeeping going on. What the hell? I mean, seriously. Now, maybe only having committee attorneys present is a method of protecting the senators and their staff? I'm sure it gives them some form of plausible deniability. But, with a case of this magnitude, a case with information classified at the Top Secret SCI level, a case where the whistleblower has been the recipient of administrative terrorism and witness intimidation by the Pentagon and Intelligence Community, a case where the Inspector General has classified the case as urgent and credible...and the Senate decides to send two lawyers and that's it? That's ridiculous!
"The case, and the allegations, have everything to do with democratic oversight and potential programs operating above Congress. Folks, remember: They work for us, we don't work for them. And without democratic oversight, there is no democracy."

Edit: Evidently it's unclear how much information Grusch was able to share with Congress. From The Debrief Q and A
"a lot of the information that once the whistleblower complaint was filed, the only people from the legislative branch who can interview someone, and they can hear all the facts are the general counsel for the Intelligence Committee. And so, a lot of the very specific information was actually given through depositions to the General Counsel of the House and Senate Intelligence Committee and not to congressional members or staffers directly."
