A draft of a new committee rules package obtained exclusively by Fox News this week indicated the committee planned to omit the phrase from the oath “Do you solemnly swear or affirm, under penalty of law, that the testimony that you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?” But on Wednesday, the committee voted to keep “so help you God” in the oath as part of the rules package, according to aides. A spokesman for Democratic Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva, the committee chairman, did not return a request for comment from Fox News.
