The U.S. House Judiciary Committee came under fire for picking Monday, the first day of Rosh Hashanah, as the day to release President Clinton’s videotaped grand jury testimony and 2,800 pages of other potentially embarrassing documents. U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said the release’s timing, on one of the holiest days of the Jewish calendar, made the Republican- backed move “a little more unseemly.” Several rabbis and other legislators also criticized the timing.
