Lewandowski hearing devolves into partisan circus by alexnazaryan
Lewandowski was summoned to testify by Democrats on the committee about the Trump campaign’s alleged collusion with Russia during the 2016 election and subsequent efforts to obstruct investigations into such efforts. He had been issued subpoenas along with former top White House aides Rob Porter and Rick Dearborn.
But many of the recitations of the Mueller report that followed came at Lewandowski’s insistence. Questioned by the committee’s chairman, Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., about the June 19, 2017, meeting between Lewandowski and Trump, Lewandowski said he needed “the exact language of the report” to answer if the meeting had simply taken place.Story continuesLewandowski insisted. “Congressman, I’d like you to refresh my memory,” he said, “by providing a copy of the report so I can follow along.
Collins, for example, charged that the Democrats’ “overbroad subpoenas” made it difficult to focus the hearings. “We could have talked today about your favorite football team,” Collins mused. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., did manage to substantively engage Lewandowski about the Oval Office meeting with Trump. Describing Lewandowski as an “enforcer” willing to break the law, Cohen wondered if Lewandowski found it “strange” to have the president ask him to pressure Sessions into curbing the Mueller investigation.
