Hi, Chris. I watdid you watch the Bondi hearing? I know you watched it because I just watched your show. I feel like it reminded me of those moments, even with Democrats, where you're watching it and you're thinking you want to kind of put your sweatshirt over your head because it's getting so crazy and going so poorly, and the person who's testifying is losing complete control of the situation.
"I hold my teams to the highest standards and have a duty to protect them as well," Roan wrote. "No artist, agent, or employee should ever be expected to defend or overlook actions that conflict so deeply with our own moral values."

I feel a tremendous sense, a profound sense of sympathy for those people, those women, who suffer as a result of his behavior and his illegal criminal activities, Mandelson said. And secondly, I regret very, very deeply indeed, carrying on that association with him for far longer than I should have done. Mandelson insisted during the interview that he never witnessed any wrongdoing during trips with Epstein, including on the billionaire's private jet.
House Oversight Democrats/XHouse Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) in a statement accompanying the release of Epstein documents that the convicted sex offender's estate turned over to the panel criticized Democrats for "cherry-picking documents and politicizing" the information.
