Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) holds an impromptu news conference on Capitol Hill on Thursday, saying that House Republicans are keeping their Obamacare repeal and replace legislation under lock and key. Over the objections of the officers, reporters and photographers followed Paul into the tight space in front of the door to the room. “I’d like a copy of the bill,” Paul said to a House staff member near the door. Paul wrapped it up only when Rep. Paul Tonko (D-N.Y.), a member of the committee, was unable to enter the room. After Paul left, House Minority Whip Steny H. Hoyer arrived at H157, trailed by a Facebook Live-streaming staffer and some reporters.
