Coats Asked Questions at Wrong Hearing

Sen. Dan Coats (R-IN) “was prepped for an appropriations hearing on the defense budget when he took his turn Wednesday afternoon, flipping papers on his lap, reading from them and commending the witness for his department’s prompt response to a letter Coats had sent about a military accounting office in his home state,” the Washington Post reports.

“It was all fairly innocuous except for one problem: Coats was in the completely wrong hearing complimenting the wrong witness.”
