The CEO of a company having a fiduciary obligation to the board and a lawyer to defend their client the best they can aren’t “actual laws” where a cop will arrest you. They are rules for the job and if you are not following these rules then you will be fired/lose your license to practice law.
That’s probably why there is no law that people point out to you. It’s a job requirement.
For current news, those were hard questions. I think just not accepting what the candidate says as facts and following up with detailed questions equals “hard questions” now.
Look how the news is treating Trumps mental decline compared to when his opponent was Biden.
