Palaban ang mga pahayag ni dating presidential spokesperson Atty. Harry Roque sa harap ng arrest warrant na inilabas ng Quad Committee ng Kamara de Representantes matapos siyang i-contempt dahil sa hindi pagsusumite ng mga dokumento tungkol sa yaman ng kaniyang pamilya.
Sa kaniyang live video na ipinost sa Facebook, tinawag ni Roque na “power tripping” ang ginawa ng mga kongresista na miyembro ng apat na komite na nagsasagawa ng imbestigasyon tungkol sa ilegal na operasyon ng Philippine offshore gaming operators .
“Hindi po tama yung ginagawa nila, pasigaw-sigaw, kapag ayaw ng sagot contempt kaagad. Nagpa-power tripping na po sila,” patuloy niya sa video. Ayon kay Roque, ilegal ang kautusan ng Kamara na arestuhin at idetine siya kaya kukuwestiyunin niya ito sa Korte Suprema at hihintayin ang desisyon.
