I thought so Wyllow. I was surprised when I heard it, but I imagine it must be more like our committees in Parliament. I think those giving evidence have to swear to tell the truth. Johnson having a legal team was, I think, an exception to the norm.

Trump without lawyers could be interesting to say the least. He "loses it" pretty quickly.

Just listening to The Context where they had an American commentator.

He said that, if Trump appears before the Grand Jury he will not be allowed lawyers and, of course, everything he says will be recorded.

"Donald Trump has said he expects to be arrested by a federal inquiry into the US Capitol riot and efforts to challenge the 2020 election results."

Is he going to be called to account for this at last?
