As former FBI director James Comey testified before the US Senate Intelligence Committee, countless celebrities took to social media to share their thoughts.
Kiwi pop star Lorde announced a slew of tour dates, including her first New Zealand shows of the year, on the same day as Comey talked publicly for the first time since being fired by President Donald Trump.
While a lot of celebrity tweeters lean left and are generally opposed to Trump, conservatives such as disgraced Fox News host Bill O'Reilly seized upon what they saw as Comey's collusion with the rival Democratic Party.
The President's own son, Donald Trump Jr, unleashed a Twitter storm in fierce defence of the former Celebrity Apprentice host and attacking Comey.
Of course, the US late night TV talk show accounts were tweeting up their own storms in mockery of Trump, who was uncharacteristically silent on social media himself.
Below is a round-up of notable tweets from celebrities and other public figures as the Washington drama unfolded:
