They told me I only have 45 seconds up here, which is 45 seconds more than the Senate gave John Bolton this week, the actor said. Im thinking maybe Quentin does a movie about it. In the end, the adults do the right thing.

The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star was, of course, referencing how former national security adviser John Boltons testimony was blocked from Trumps trial, even though he had been willing to testify. Trump was acquitted of all impeachment charges on Wednesday, which was the expected outcome after Republican senators voted not to hear from a single witness.

In the press room later on Sunday, Pitt explained the moment, which you can watch here:
