When Sally (Kate Burton) was in the White House on SCANDAL (ABC/Nicole Wilder)

In the Scandal episode “Standing in the Sun,” special prosecutor Lonnie Mencken (Michael O’Neill) has been hired to try to impeach President Mellie Grant (Bellamy Young). Liv (Kerry Washington) has been called to testify against the President. Mencken is not a fan of Grant, nor is the host of the political TV show The Liberty Report, Sally Langston. The former senator from Georgia served with President Fitz Grant during his first term and then ran against him and lost.
