Former President Macron's security aide Alexandre Benalla appears before the French Senate Laws Commission prior to his hearing, in Paris, France, Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2018. Benalla who triggered a political crisis after being videotaped beating a protester is grudgingly appearing before a Senate inquiry commission whose members he insulted as "little people" for whom he has no respect. He was fired in late June when the affair became a political scandal. (AP Photo/Thibault Camus), APTOPIX
