I wasn't able to fetch the article — both the provided text and a direct fetch attempt returned the site's access-denied/JavaScript-check page rather than the actual story, and I don't have permission to use WebFetch in this session. I don't have enough genuine content to summarise accurately, and I'd rather not fabricate details about what the senator said.

Could you either:
– paste the full article text directly, or
– grant WebFetch permission so I can try retrieving it again?
