The Senate Judiciary Committee met Wednesday to discuss President Biden's nominations of Lisa Monaco to be the next deputy attorney general and Vanita Gupta as associate attorney general.
"I still am very concerned about Ms. Gupta's nomination," Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said, citing her responses to the committee's questions. "She has avoided answering questions, or as in the case of her testimony here in front of the committee, she's completely, 180 degrees -- taken a 180-degrees position different from what she has on a previous occasion as recently as last summer when we had her before the committee [to] testify on police reform." Cornyn accused Gupta of undergoing a "confirmation conversion" and saying what she believes she has to in order to get confirmed.More Related News
