On Capitol Hill a number of key Democratic senators are calling for a halt to the confirmation process for Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh until special counsel Robert Mueller completes his investigation. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer noted that Judge Kavanaugh has taken an expansive view of the president’s powers and would likely act to protect Trump against any criminal prosecution.

Sen. Chuck Schumer: “It is unseemly for the president of the United States to be picking a Supreme Court justice who could soon be effectively a juror in a case involving the president himself. In light of these facts, I believe Chairman Grassley has scheduled a hearing for Judge Kavanaugh too soon, and I am calling on him to delay the hearing.”

Meanwhile, talk of impeaching President Trump continues to grow—despite objections from congressional Democratic leaders. After headlines, we’ll speak with Democratic Congressmember Al Green, who’s a leader of the effort to impeach the president.
