DC U.S. Attorney Launches Inquiry into Senate Leader Chuck Schumer Over Remarks Seen as Threats to the Supreme Court
In a development that has captured the attention of both legal experts and political pundits, the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia has formally launched an inquiry into Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D–NY) over comments he made that many interpreted as a threat to members of the U.S. Supreme Court. The inquiry, which comes amid a broader reshuffling and politicization of the Justice Department, centers on remarks Schumer made during a public rally in March 2020 that critics say crossed the line between strong political rhetoric and direct intimidation of the judiciary.
