I think you will find anything said in congress is absolutely protected free speech, you can't sue them. I am Australian and that's how it works in Parliament. I think it's completely standard worldwide as it actually should be so people in government can do their job without fear of being sued by billionaires for example who could just keep you in court forever stopping you from doing your job.
