A hearing of the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government went off the rails on Thursday when Democratic members of the committee attempted to cross-examine testimony from witnesses.
Committee Chairman Jim Jordan allowed the witnesses, Sen. Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, to leave without cross-examination after giving their testimony."These witnesses are being dismissed without the ability to cross-examine their statements. They’ve made some outlandish allegations here,” Rep. Stephen Lynch said.
Lynch contested Jordan's point by acknowledging the precedent but arguing the two witnesses were"direct witnesses." Lynch also said they presented evidence he believed was"in part" false and said he wanted to question them. Jordan then recognized Rep. Mike Johnson , but Lynch contested the move. Lynch then asked for the testimony of Schmitt and Landry to be struck from the congressional record. Jordan responded by asking if he"wanted to censor it."
