Ilya Shapiro says he's confident Georgetown will find he didn't violate any policies with his controversial tweets about President Biden's pledge to nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court.

"I’m confident that it will reach the only reasonable conclusion: my Tweet didn't violate any university rule or policy, and indeed is protected by Georgetown policies on free expression," Shapiro added. "Accordingly, I expect to be vindicated and look forward to joining my new colleagues in short order."
