Sen. Van Hollen to Todd Blanche after Blanche called him a liar: "Don't ever do that again!"

VAN HOLLEN: An individual who was pardoned by Trump went on to molest 2 children, & he tried to buy their silence by saying he would give them funds from your slush fund. Can you commit to not making that person eligible for a payout?

BLANCHE: You're obviously lying

V: I am reporting what he said

Blanche played dumb, and said, do what, Van Hollen had said call me a liar instead of not answering. And maybe a few other choice words about who the liar is.
