Donald John TrumpFlorida GOP lawmaker says he's 'thinking' about impeachment Democrats introduce 'THUG Act' to block funding for G-7 at Trump resort Kurdish group PKK pens open letter rebuking Trump's comparison to ISIS MORE's impeachment on Thursday.
The "Say Anything" star was eyed by reporters in between chats with several lawmakers, including Rep. Ro Khanna

"Rep. Khanna is friends with John. He came by to catch up. [The] two share common views on progressive values and chatted about the work of Arundhati Roy," a spokeswoman said.
Reps for Nadler didn't get back to us about Cusack's visit.
But the entertainer — a vocal critic of Trump who's called him "dangerous" and "unhinged" — documented much of his day on the Hill, including what he described as an elevator ride with some proponents of the commander in chief.
