Bovino continued: “In fact, under my direction I’m proud to say ICE has detained, zip tied, pointed guns at, tear gassed, hit with flash bangs, assaulted, used as bait and generally traumatized more children than any other administration in the history of America” Well, that’s what I heard, anyway

Tory MP Simon Hoare has given a very vivid quote about Donald Trump's comments on Nato allies, which could actually be used in many contexts about the US president: "Frankly Trump makes my flesh creep and my stomach turn. Where are his advisors? Where is his nurse? Where is his sense of shame?"

Jack Smith’s testimony is powerful. Trump was charged not for politics but because the evidence proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Donald Trump broke the law, and no one, not even a former president, is above it.

Republicans spent the entire hearing accusing Jack Smith of prosecuting Trump for political reasons and falsely claiming he was being directed by Biden and Garland. Ironically, while they were doing that, Trump was telling Bondi on Truth Social that she should prosecute Smith.
