What caused a delay during a recent congressional hearing? Answer: Unwanted background music. Shutterstock One arguably good thing to come out of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the entertaining video chat snafus that have resulted from everyone having to use such technology. From lawyers showing up as adorable kitties to the discombobulated heads of U.S. lawmakers, the possibilities are seemingly endless.

Liz Cheney fires back at Trump after he calls Biden s victory the Big Lie 11:51 a.m. House GOP leadership reportedly isn t pleased with Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) these days and her job as GOP conference chair may be on the line, but the congresswoman remains undeterred in her efforts to combat former President Donald Trump s false claims about the 2020 election.
