Leahy Wants Hawley, Cruz Off Judiciary Committee

“Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT), the incoming Senate president pro tempore, says that Sens. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) should step down from the Senate Judiciary Committee while federal officials investigate the storming of the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob last week,” The Hill reports.

Said Leahy: “Both of them wanted to subvert the will of the people, wanted to tell the whole world and the United States that we did not have an honest election. I can’t imagine any senator doing that and then serving on Judiciary.”
