Former Donald Trump aide Corey Lewandowski's testimony to the House Judiciary Committee descended into farce as Democrats accused him of 'filibustering' for demanding to read passages of the Mueller report before answering questions. Lewandowski was facing questions from the panel over the report into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and alleged obstruction of justice by the president. In his opening statement he accused 'Trump haters' of playing 'petty politics' with the issue, before invoking executive privilege to refuse to answer a series of questions from increasingly frustrated Democrats.Subscribe to The Guardian on YouTube ► http://is.gd/subscribeguardianTrump ally Corey Lewandowski clashes with Democrats in testy hearing ► https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/sep/17/corey-lewandowski-trump-house-hearing-impeachmentSupport the Guardian ► https://support.theguardian.com/contributeToday in Focus podcast ► https://www.theguardian.com/news/series/todayinfocusSign up for the Guardian documentaries newsletter ► https://www.theguardian.com/info/2016/sep/02/sign-up-for-the-guardian-documentaries-updateThe Guardian ► https://www.theguardian.comThe Guardian YouTube network:Guardian News ► http://is.gd/guardianwiresOwen Jones talks ► http://Clickbait/subsowenjonesGuardian Football ► http://is.gd/guardianfootballGuardian Sport ► http://Clickbait/GDNsportGuardian Culture ► http://is.gd/guardianculture

I don't think Corey knew just how hilarious this was. Especially, with Nadler shaking his head. It was priceless. No way I could have sat in that court room without laughing. I would have had to leave. LOL
