House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearings on the Mitchell Report — the foundational congressional follow-up to the December 13, 2007 Mitchell Report release. Two hearing sessions combined in this 159-page record: (1) **December 18, 2007** — Mitchell, Selig, Fehr testimony, with the Committee questioning the Report's findings, recommendations, and MLB's responsive plans; (2) **February 13, 2008** — the famous Roger Clemens / Brian McNamee testimony day, at which Clemens denied using PEDs while McNamee testified he had injected Clemens with steroids and HGH. The February 2008 hearing produced federal perjury indictments against Clemens (eventually acquitted at his second trial in 2012). Andy Pettitte's deposition was also entered into the hearing record. **Phase 1 wantlist hit cleared** — this is the foundational legislative follow-up to the Mitchell Report. Chaired by Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA).

Background

Companion to the Mitchell Report (in archive). The February 13, 2008 Clemens-McNamee day is one of the most-watched congressional hearings in baseball history. Pettitte's deposition material directly contradicted Clemens's denials, producing the federal perjury case.
