Where can I find the official transcript or video of the Senate committee hearing that featured Kennedy and Schiff?
Executive summary
The authoritative sources for official Senate hearing transcripts are the committee websites and the Library of Congress’s Congress.gov hearing-transcripts list after publication by the Government Publishing Office (GPO) [1] [2]. Video recordings are most often posted by the committee as livestreams or archived on media services such as C‑SPAN; Senate committee pages and C‑SPAN host full video of confirmation and oversight hearings featuring Robert F. Kennedy Jr. [3] [4] [5].
1. Where the official transcript will be posted: committee webpages and Congress.gov
When a Senate committee publishes a hearing transcript, the committee’s own website posts the “final hearing transcript as printed,” as shown by the HELP Committee’s page for Kennedy’s nomination hearing which links directly to the printed transcript [1]; once GPO has published the document it also appears on the Library of Congress’s Congress.gov compiled list of Senate hearing transcripts [2], and the Senate’s central hearings and meetings guide explains that published hearing transcripts contain all witness testimony and the question-and-answer portion of the hearing [6].
2. Where to watch the official video: committee livestreams and C‑SPAN archives
Committees routinely provide livestreams and archived video on their websites — the Senate Finance Committee explicitly encourages the public to use the committee livestream available on its site for hearings such as those featuring Kennedy [3] — and C‑SPAN archives individual hearing programs and longer testimony sessions, including multiple videos of RFK Jr. testifying at confirmation and oversight hearings [4] [5].
3. How to find the exact hearing featuring Kennedy and Schiff
Begin at the committee that held the event: nomination and oversight hearings for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have been hosted by committees such as Health, Education, Labor & Pensions (HELP) and the Senate Finance Committee, and the HELP committee page for Kennedy’s nomination explicitly offers the final transcript for the January hearing [1] while the Finance Committee lists hearings and livestream access for later sessions [3]. After identifying the committee and date, the committee’s hearing page and Congress.gov provide the official transcript, and C‑SPAN provides video archives tied to those same dates [1] [2] [4].
4. Practical search steps and caveats about timing
Search the committee’s “Hearings” or “Committee Activity” pages (for example, HELP or Finance) for the date or subject and click the hearing entry for transcript and materials; if a transcript is not yet posted, Congress.gov’s hearing-transcript index lists hearings once the GPO has published them [1] [2]. Videos may be available immediately via committee livestream or C‑SPAN, but printed transcripts can take longer to appear because they are finalized and published through GPO processes described on the Senate’s hearings overview [6] [3].
5. Alternate routes and archival copies
If the committee page or Congress.gov does not yield a transcript, the Government Publishing Office’s govinfo service and federal depository libraries are alternative places to locate the official printed hearing once released, and C‑SPAN’s Congressional Chronicle lets users find and download hearings and proceedings archives [6] [7]. News outlets often post clips or summaries but do not replace the official transcript or full video archive; for the complete record rely on the committee posting, Congress.gov, GPO/govinfo, or C‑SPAN [2] [7].
6. Reporting limits and source transparency
The sources consulted show where official transcripts and videos are published and give concrete examples of RFK Jr. hearings available on HELP and on C‑SPAN, but they do not provide an explicit single URL for a hearing that simultaneously names every participant including Adam Schiff; therefore the exact committee and date for a specific “Kennedy and Schiff” pairing must be matched against committee rosters and hearing records on the committee page or Congress.gov to retrieve the definitive transcript or video [1] [2] [4].
