Summary

This document is a printed copy of a Washington Post opinion piece by Heather A. Conley and Charles Gati, bearing a House Oversight Bates stamp. The article critiques the Trump administration's shift toward 'appeasement' regarding Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, highlighting visits to Budapest by Stephen K. Bannon and Assistant Secretary of State A. Wess Mitchell. It contrasts this approach with previous Bush and Obama administration policies that distanced the U.S. from Orban due to his anti-democratic and anti-Semitic tendencies. Note: While part of a larger document dump, this specific page does not contain the name Epstein.
