TRANSCRIPT: Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand
SCENE: Laslo’s in the Capitol’s dreary basement for an hour or so when Sen. Gillibrand appears, heading away from the Senate floor and towards the Senate SCIF; where Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) had just descended with an intelligence staffer carrying a sealed classified folder.
But Gillibrand doesn’t go down the stairs to the SCIF. She keeps walking — casually staffed by two younger gentleman — into the expansive Capitol Visitor’s Center (CVC), where the New Yorker is heading to a Dominican Republic event.
Matt Laslo: “Having fun secret meetings underground?”
Kirsten Gillibrand: “We do. They’re always fun.”
ML: “I just saw [Sen. Susan] Collins (R-ME) go down [to the SCIF].”
KG: “Oh, I’m just going to the Dominican Republic…”
ML: “Was curious, what was your guys’ classified UAP briefing in January? You have it on your public schedule.”
KG: “Umm. It wasn’t about UAP.”
