Casey, Jr.'s office, and other former employees of that office, to give testimony and documents in the federal criminal case United States v. Kaminski in Pennsylvania. The prosecution in that case asked for this evidence. Under Senate rules, evidence held by the Senate cannot be taken through court process without the Senate's permission. The resolution does not allow testimony on matters where a privilege or objection should be raised. It also authorizes the Senate Legal Counsel to represent these former employees in connection with their testimony.
