Where can one find transcripts or official records of Sascha Riley’s testimony to the Oversight Committee?
Executive summary
Official transcripts of House committee witness testimony are generally published through committee websites, the Government Publishing Office (GPO) and Congress.gov, or appear on govinfo after GPO release [1], and the House Oversight Committee maintains a public hearings archive where published hearings and materials are listed [2]; however, available reporting and social posts indicate that Sascha Riley’s accounts are circulating as audio posted to a private Substack and discussed on social platforms, and reporters or users in those threads note an absence of a posted official transcript [3] [4].
1. Where an official transcript would normally be published — start at Oversight, GPO and Congress.gov
The formal path to find an official transcript of any House Oversight Committee witness is to check the committee’s hearings page for the specific hearing and any posted materials [2], then Congress.gov’s compiled “House committee hearing transcripts” index which lists transcripts once published by the GPO [1], and the GPO/govinfo platform which stores the text of published hearing transcripts for public access [1] [5].
2. What reporting and social posts say is currently available about Sascha Riley’s testimony
Multiple social media posts and forum threads describe listening to Riley’s testimony and reacting to audio that was posted unredacted on Lisa Noelle Volding’s Substack, and at least one user explicitly says they “have not seen a transcript” while linking to a detailed breakdown compiled from the audio [3] [4], while other social posts repeat that Riley “gave” testimony to a Democratic oversight committee but do not provide a committee-issued document link [6] [7].
3. Practical steps: how to search for an official record and where to look next
Search the House Oversight Committee hearings archive by date and keyword for any hearing listing tied to Riley and download materials linked on that page [2]; if nothing appears there, check the Congress.gov House committee hearing transcripts index and the GPO/govinfo catalog for newly published transcripts that may lag committee postings [1] [5]; if still not found, the absence from these official repositories suggests no GPO-published transcript exists yet — in which case the audio posted publicly (noted in reporting) or witness statements supplied to the committee may be the only publicly available primary records [3].
4. If an official transcript is not published: requests, FOIA and committee procedures
When a committee has not published testimony, Congress.gov and GPO guidance indicate hearings are not available from Senate or House document rooms until published, and visitors may need to rely on committee websites or the govinfo site; the Senate guidance recommends committee sites and govinfo as primary sources and notes that transcripts include witness testimony when published [5]; for records not publicly posted, congressional records can sometimes be requested from the committee, and researchers often ask committee clerks or use FOIA routes for executive-branch records, but the sources provided do not document a specific FOIA path or a confirmed committee posting for Riley’s testimony [1] [2] [5].
5. Bottom line, limitations and recommended next checks
Based on the materials aggregated here, there is no citation to a GPO- or committee-published written transcript for Sascha Riley in the provided reporting; instead, primary material being circulated appears to be unredacted audio posted to a private Substack and summaries compiled by social users — users explicitly say they have “not seen a transcript” and point to audio as the source [3] [4]; therefore the authoritative next steps are to search the House Oversight hearings archive and Congress.gov/GPO/govinfo for any posted transcript [2] [1], and if none appears, treat the Substack audio as the only publicly documented record identified in this reporting while recognizing the limitation that no official committee transcript is cited in the sources provided [3] [4].
