Mullin Confirmation Hearing

from Wisconsin's Midday News

Washington Correspondent Scott MacFarlane talks about how the confirmation hearing for Markwayne Mullin will take place in Washington D.C. today.

Was it just standard hearing, or were there any fireworks? What is Mullin pledging to do? Is there any reason to believe he won’t be confirmed? House Oversight Chair James Comer officially subpoenaed Attorney General Pam Bondi for a closed-door deposition in April regarding her handling of the Epstein Files. What information does the committee believe can only be obtained through a sworn deposition? Bondi has testified before a house judiciary committee before, how will this be different? Was there bipartisan support for the subpoena? Lastly, did Scott fill out a March Madness bracket?
