WASHINGTON — Roger Clemens argued in court filings yesterday that a congressional committee and law firm that investigated performance-enhancing drugs in baseball have no right to withhold evidence from his upcoming criminal trial.

Clemens filed arguments asking U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton to require the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and the DLA Piper law firm that produced the Mitchell Report to turn over their evidence that Clemens used steroids and HGH, presumably to look for weaknesses or inconsistencies that could aid his defense.

Both parties are fighting the baseball star’s subpoenas. Walton has scheduled an April 21 hearing for arguments over the subpoenas.
