House panel: Clemens can't see its files for trial

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A congressional panel that investigated drugs in baseball says All-Star pitcher Roger Clemens shouldn't get access to its internal files to use at his upcoming federal trial.


The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee said in court papers filed late Friday night that there is no "carve-out" in its secrecy laws for criminal defendants like Clemens to look into its internal notes and memoranda.


The House committee has argued that being forced to turn over its internal material for Clemens to use in federal court would violate the constitutional principle of separation of powers between the legislative and judicial branches. That principle is embodied in the Constitution's speech or debate clause.
