Paul, however, has missed many committee hearings, as BuzzFeed News reported earlier this year:
A BuzzFeed News accounting of Paul's attendance at Homeland Security hearings was only able to verify the Kentucky senator attended five out of 73 hearings from January of 2014 until April (when the story was written). This was less than 10% overall.
Similar results were found for his attendance at Foreign Relations Committee hearings.
Wrote BuzzFeed News earlier this year:
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul has skipped most Foreign Relations Committee hearings since 2014, a BuzzFeed News review has found Looking at publicly available hearing transcripts and videos, Paul's attendance at the full committee and subcommittees he is on was only verifiable at 15 of 94 hearings since 2014.
In both instances, Paul could be found making television appearances the same day he was missing hearings.
