8:25Now PlayingSen. Sheldon Whitehouse urged the Senate Judiciary Committee not to combine the Department of Justice oversight hearing with Todd Blanch's confirmation hearing, arguing it would weaken congressional scrutiny of the DOJ. Whitehouse accused the department of stonewalling lawmakers by refusing to answer questions or provide documents, claiming oversight has been "systematically disabled." He also alleged the DOJ mishandled the Epstein files, criticised what he called a controversial DOJ "slush fund" settlement tied to tax benefits for Donald Trump and his businesses, and pointed to ongoing court proceedings in Florida examining allegations of fraud upon the court. Whitehouse said the committee risks failing its oversight responsibilities by ignoring these issues and warned that merging the hearings would be "a very, very grave mistake."
