Trump Nominee Collapses Under Brutal Cross-Exam At Hearing
Summary
Trump’s judicial nominees refuse to admit that he lost the 2020 election. Instead, they recite, while under oath, canned responses while being grilled by Senate Democrats. Katie Phang highlights one particularly egregious nominee, Justin D. Smith, and analyzes why Trump is desperate to stack the federal bench as quickly as possible.
