Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., confronted a Biden nominee for allegedly lying under oath about her personal Twitter account. 

On Tuesday, an exchange got heated during the Senate Homeland Security Committee when Hawley questioned President Joe Biden’s nominee about running the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), Colleen Shogan. 

Facing her second hearing, Hawley reminded Shogan of her “grossly partisan” and “offensive” tweets, which he asked her to provide to the committee since she set her Twitter account to private after her nomination. Read Full Story
