Sen. Chris Van Hollen tried to smear Trump’s new $1.776 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund as a 'slush fund' during a Senate hearing today, dramatically invoking a pardoned child molester who allegedly hoped to cash in. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche wasn’t having it — he flatly accused Van Hollen of lying in his question, pointing out the fund didn’t even exist when the individual made the claim.
The tense exchange quickly escalated, with Van Hollen demanding Blanche “never do that again” after getting called out on the timeline.
This is great, WATCH:

Post continues:
... their silence saying he'd pay funds he hoped to get from YOUR slush fund. Can you make sure that person is not eligible?!
BLANCHE: You're OBVIOUSLY LYING in your question! The 'slush fund' didn't EXIST!
HOLLEN: Mr. Attorney General, don't ever do that again!!
BLANCHE: Do WHAT again?
HOLLEN: He said he expected to get the funds.
BLANCHE: You said SLUSH FUND, that didn't EXIST when he said that.
HOLLEN: You've been telegraphing the slush fund all along that you'd help the president's friends.
BLANCHE: Point to a SINGLE telegraph I've made. What telegraph have I made?
HOLLEN: Do you know it's a criminal offense to LIE to Congress?!
BLANCHE: I am VERY well aware of that.
Hollen should resign.
Freaking disgrace.
