During recess at Thursday’s impeachment hearing, CNN’s live feed caught a member of press appearing to take photographs of documents belonging to a GOP representative of the House Judiciary Committee, according to Congressman Mike Johnson.
The video shows two press members walking up to the dais and one of them hovering their camera over documents that were on the desk area of a committee member.
