Ex-Trump campaign chief won’t testify at Jan. 6 hearing

Former Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien will not appear for his scheduled testimony in front of the Jan. 6 committee "due to a family emergency," according to a release from the committee. Stepien's wife is in labor, a source familiar with the matter tells CNN, which is why the committee has released him from his subpoena for the day. CNN’s Kaitlan Collins and Manu Raju report. #CNN #News

  1. That’s a valid excuse , congrats to him and his wife , but hope to hear what he has to say next week if it comes to be

    1. @NalyDJ420 🤣 Absolutely! The troll farms are gonna be working overtime while this hearing is going on.

  2. Play a drinking game every time Mr. Stepien says “you know”. You’ll be intoxicated in minutes.

  3. I could have sworn I saw the campaign chief did appear on a zoom interview. He might not have been there live though.

  4. Awwww. May it be an easy delivery for a beautiful and healthy child. This may sound strange to many but the timing of the arrival of a child is perfect. For a baby’s first cry heralds with it hope for the future.

    1. Thaaat’s right…let’s deflect to something which happened YEARS ago, with no relevance to ANYTHING.

  5. Ah, the old “my wife is in labor” ploy, 😂 That one’s pretty hard to fake. 😂 😂 😂

  6. Um, there was an assassination attempt on a supreme court justice’s life. You know, actual relevant news? Hello? Anybody home?

  7. Imagine channels having Jan 6 videos with comments turned off. Imagine watching cherry picked clips and believing there’s only one side to this. Imagine not wondering why there’s no footage outside the Capitol and how the first ppl got/lead in. Hmmmmm

    1. @T L only if you think bashing windows in and climbing through.. (Which was clearly shown in the Thursday night hearings..) is being “let in”.

  8. She has the baby and he comes and testifies– sure a minor delay maybe. Is his wife in labour for weeks or something- hope not?
