McConnell slows nomination of Biden pick for Minnesota US attorney over arsonist's 'unusually soft sentence'
Fox News
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is slowing the confirmation process for a President Biden U.S. attorney nominee, saying he needs “assurances” that “jaw-dropping” practice of sentencing leniency will end.
"I just placed a hold on a nominee for US attorney for Minnesota, because the person recently acting in that job recommended an unusually soft sentence below the maximum guideline to a convicted fatal arsonist because the arsonist was taking part in a far left political riot at the time," McConnell said on the Senate floor.
