A House Republican threw one curveball of a question at Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler, asking the Biden administration official on Tuesday to answer under oath whether he facilitated payment for British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s now-discredited anti-Trump dossier.
Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) ended his contentious line of questioning during the final moments of a House Financial Services Committee hearing by hearkening back to Gensler’s role as chief financial officer on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.
