upcoming hearing
The committee — led by Chairman Tom Carper, D-Del., and Sen. Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, the top Republican on the committee — has not publicly announced a date for the hearing. "The accident has been deemed 100% preventable, so Mr. Shaw should be transparent, forthright, and he should not duck but instead testify before America, before the Senate, as soon as possible," Schumer said in remarks on the Senate floor.
Norfolk Southern did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether Shaw would testify on Capitol Hill.
