The claim is about Garcia making the call, not about securing Vance’s testimony. The provided evidence states that Garcia publicly said he would call on House Oversight Chair James Comer to summon Vice President JD Vance over the Epstein files. That matches the promised action itself and occurred while Garcia was in office, so it counts as delivered in the same term.
