The House Committee on Oversight is scheduled to jointly convene with the Senate Committee on Rules, Government Ethics and Oversight on Thursday afternoon.

Just over a year since two committees first convened to seek answers about the closure of the westbound Washington Bridge, lawmakers once again gathered to question the head of the R.I. Department of Transportation.

Danielle Sassoon, the acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, has resigned. Her resignation comes after she was directed to drop corruption charges against New York Mayor Eric Adams.

Director Peter Alviti is being questioned by lawmakers Thursday in the second oversight hearing since the bridge failed.
