All Things Investigations: Episode 14 – Observations on January 6 Committee with Kevin Carroll & Kenyen Brown

Welcome to the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption and Internal Investigations Practice Group’s Podcast, All Things Investigations. In this podcast, host Tom Fox, returning guest Kevin Carroll and Kenyen Brown of the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations Practice Group highlight some of the key legal issues in white-collar investigations, locally and internationally.

 

 

Kevin Carroll is a partner in the firm’s Washington and New York offices, in its white collar and investigations practices. He represents businesses, senior executives, and government officials in congressional and criminal investigations, conducts internal investigations, and litigates national security claims. Kenyen Brown, a partner in the firm’s Washington office, focuses primarily on white-collar criminal litigation and compliance counseling, including matters involving the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and internal and government investigations. With his extensive white-collar litigation experience and refined judgment, Kenyen served as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama to which President Barack Obama appointed him.

Key areas we explore on this podcast are:

  • Why the Jan 6 Committee report would not be a complete investigation unless they ask former Vice President Pence about what he observed that day.
  • Because of the constitution of the Committee itself, there has been an absence of partisan rancor, which allowed them to tell a narrative from an investigative standpoint. The American people found this very valuable.
  • The influence of technology in public hearings and investigations. 
  • The significance of the Jan 6 Committee report.
  • People may get down into the semantics of what the President knew and argue the policy behind whether or not it was an insurrection, but at the end of the day, people were fearful for their lives. 
  • The clarification of the Electoral Count Act.
