U.S. Department of Justice (Executive Session)

The Senate held an executive session concerning the U.S. Department of Justice, in the context of considering promotion of a department official. Senator Schumer, a Democrat, spoke against the promotion, saying the Justice Department under Todd Blanche had moved to dismiss charges against Oath Keepers members convicted in connection with the January 6 Capitol attack and was seeking taxpayer reimbursement for them. He urged Senate Republicans not to advance the official he said developed that plan. No opposing statements are included in the available record.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
