While Capitol Hill was abuzz with the testimony of President Donald Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen this week, some onlookers cared more about an epic young student photobombing a reporter’s on-air analysis while chomping on some pizza. Plus, former “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart offers kind words for the Trump administration, Rep. Elijah Cummings reveals his Oversight committee BFF, Rep. Tim Ryan muses about the sale of Longworth office building and Sens. Johnny Isakson and Chuck Grassley reflect on the ever-repeating nature of the Senate. Reps. Mark Meadows and Thomas Massie listen during a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing featuring testimony by Michael Cohen, former attorney for President Donald Trump (Photo By Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call).
