On this episode of Bad News, Good Lawyers, partner Giancarlo Pellegrini, former senior counsel to the US House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, discusses his experience leading high-profile congressional investigations, including in relation to the Jeffrey Epstein crimes.

Speaking with host Tom Firestone, head of our Government Investigations & White Collar Practice, Giancarlo provides an insider’s perspective into what it is like to question some of the most prominent witnesses to appear before a congressional oversight committee, including former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Drawing on a career at the center of congressional oversight, Giancarlo explains the unique challenges facing lawyers and clients in congressional investigations, and why companies should prepare now for a likely increase in scrutiny following the US midterm elections.
