Defense challenges integrity of NBI complaint documents

Defense counsel asserted that the documents being presented, which were subpoenaed from the NBI and submitted by the NBI to the House Committee on Justice as the basis for filing the articles of impeachment, may have been altered, noting that the Investigation Data Form bears docket number XVI-INV-25C-0008 while the February 5, 2025 certification and the February 14, 2025 DOJ certification bear docket number XVI EVAL-INV-25A-0049; Senator-Judge Cayetano asserted that the February 3 document could not logically have been an attachment to the January 30 affidavit because it post-dated the original submission. The NBI witness testified that he has no personal knowledge of the docket numbers, that the DOJ was responsible for assigning them, and that the first affidavit had attachments the prosecutor did not notice. The Presiding Officer ruled that there was no basis for the assertion that the documents were altered and sustained an objection to questioning the witness about DOJ docket numbers, holding the witness not competent to answer about documents belonging to the DOJ.
