Nancy Abudu, SPLC lawyer on Biden Supreme Court shortlist, faces scrutiny
Fox News
Nancy Abudu, deputy legal director at the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and a nominee for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, has also made it onto President Biden's shortlist to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer. Abudu faces scrutiny over her record on voting rights and the SPLC's scandals.
Abudu joined the SPLC amid a massive scandal that culminated in the firing of SPLC co-founder Morris Dees in March 2019. The SPLC fired Dees in the wake of claims of racial discrimination and sexual harassment that traced back decades. SPLC President Richard Cohen resigned and the SPLC promised an internal review, the results of which have yet to become public. Abudu did not respond to multiple requests for comment about the scandal and her experiences at the SPLC in its wake.
