I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

Is anyone in the UK seeing this? Bannon and Epstein were communicating (ergo working together) in 2019 to fund European Right Wing leaders such Le Pen 🇫🇷, Salvini 🇮🇹, Orban 🇭🇺, ADF 🇩🇪 and, of course Mr Nige Farage 🇬🇧. elpais.com/internaciona...
El Pais article (in Spanish) says that between 2018 and 2019 (Steve) Bannon was telling Epstein of far right successes and that 'I am focused on raising funds for Le Pen and Salvini so that they can present more candidates' and how he became an advisor (financial advisor?) for the parties of Le Pen, ADF, Orban and (Nige) Farage.
