It's hard to reconcile the sworn testimony offered by former Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien before the House Jan. 6 select committee with what I heard from him as the headliner on a hastily convened fundraising teleconference about a week after the 2020 election.
Before the House committee, Stepien presented himself as the earnest, sober and honest campaign professional, proud to be labeled as "Team Normal" as opposed to Rudy Giuliani's team, which generated one outlandish false claim after another. Stepien told the panel he chose to step away at an unspecified time after the election because Trump's campaign of disinformation wasn't "necessarily honest or professional."
