Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) blasted as "one of the worst" a judicial pick expected to get a vote in the Senate as soon as this week.

 

Schumer called Thomas Farr, who President Trump nominated to be a district judge, a "dye in the wool partisan with [a] particular hostility to voting rights."

 

"It's hard to believe President Trump nominated him. It's even harder to believe Senate Republicans are considering him again," Schumer said.

 

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) teed up a vote on Farr and four other nominees before the chamber left for the week-long Thanksgiving break.

U.S. lawmakers' concern on Saudi Arabia prompts Pompeo, Mattis briefing

 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis will brief the U.S. Senate on Wednesday on the latest developments related to Saudi Arabia, Senator John Cornyn, the number two Senate Republican, told reporters on Monday.

 

Many U.S. lawmakers, including some of President Donald Trump’s fellow Republicans, have rejected Trump’s embrace of Saudi Arabia. They have called for a strong U.S. response to the murder of prominent Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and the war in Yemen, which has created one of the world’s most urgent humanitarian disasters.

 

Trump vowed last week to remain a “steadfast partner” of Saudi Arabia and said it was not clear whether Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman knew about the plan to kill Khashoggi last month at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul….
