A MAGA AG dumping false oppo in an oversight hearing shows just how low they go. We usually expect Attorneys General to say true things. Seems like a reasonable expectation.

For starters, weird that an Attorney General prepares for a hearing with opposition research to attack committee members. That is a first, for me at least. Somebody prepped all that — interesting work out of Department of Justice.

Today in Judiciary, the MAGA Attorney General falsely accused me of taking money, “not only once but twice,” from “one of Epstein’s closest confidantes.”
She brought it up twice, in response to different questions, so no accident.
