@thehillpolitics: Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) received a rebuke on the House floor after he discussed former President Trump’s ongoing hush money trial, making a series of comments that were deemed “offensive.” The spat — which grinded the House floor to a halt for more than an hour — began after McGovern, during debate on a procedural rule, described Trump’s current legal entanglements. “We have a presumptive nominee for president facing 88 felony counts, and we’re being prevented from even acknowledging it,” said McGovern, the top Democrat on the Rules Committee. “These are not alternative facts. These are real facts.” Rep. Erin Houchin (R-Ind.), who was managing the rule debate for Republicans, asked twice that McGovern’s comments be taken down, a request that was later accepted by Rep. Jerry Carl (R-Ala.) who was presiding over the chamber at the time. #donaldtrump #house #democrat #congress #politics #thehill #fyp
