In a dramatic live television spectacle, Donald Trump's top political witnesses crumbled under intense cross-examination by Democratic lawmakers in both the Senate and House of Representatives. Former Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy was dismantled for his reality TV road trip, funded by companies he oversaw, with senators exposing the 'pay-for-play' nature of the sponsorship deals and linking the trip to rising gas prices and public distrust. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand delivered a scathing indictment of the 'Great American Road Trip' as a symbol of elite detachment, while Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett condemned the Republican Party’s embrace of white supremacist groups and its efforts to suppress voting rights under the guise of 'law and order.'
