House panel releases documents in fetal tissue probe

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans targeting Planned Parenthood released documents that they say may point to businesses profiting from the sale of fetal tissue for research. Democrats said the documents showed no direct evidence of profiteering.

Republicans on the panel would not reveal the source of the materials, saying they came from investigative work by staff.
