The Senate Judiciary Committee voted Thursday to advance Jeanine Pirro’s nomination as federal prosecutor for the District of Columbia to the Senate floor.
The committee attempted to vote on Pirro’s nomination last week, but the meeting ended after a partisan breakdown in which Democrats walked out after Republicans voted to cut off debate to force a vote on President Donald Trump’s nominee to the federal bench, Emil Bove.
“This may have been the result of miscommunicated intentions between our sides but this isn’t a good way for this committee to operate,” Sen. Chuck Grassley said Thursday of the blow-up.
