Lead prosecutor Gerville Luistro says the House of Representatives broke no law when it obtained and discussed records from the Anti-Money Laundering Council during deliberations on the impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte. Luistro, a Batangas representative, made the statement after Day 33 of the impeachment trial. The AMLC documents have become one of the contested points in a proceeding already crowded with fights over procedure. In the prosecution's view, a chamber weighing impeachment charges has broad latitude to gather the material it needs. The council's records are normally shielded by strict confidentiality rules, which is why their use in Congress caused a stir. The trial has now run past a month, and the dispute over these documents is part of its record.
