Fox News
Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., placed holds on all Department of Justice nominees after the department failed to respond to his letter demanding answers about its lack of assistance to U.S. Marshals who are currently being sued over their involvement in the defense of the Portland federal courthouse in 2020
The move comes after Cotton penned a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland expressing concern about the DOJ's lack of legal assistance for U.S. Marshals facing lawsuits over their role defending the Portland federal courthouse during riots there in 2020.
