“Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has pulled Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), who tried to oust him as the Senate’s top Republican in a bruising leadership race, off the powerful Commerce Committee,” The Hill reports.
“McConnell also removed Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), who supported Scott’s bid to replace McConnell as leader, from the Commerce panel, which has broad jurisdiction over a swath of federal agencies.”
