The Judiciary Subcommittee - What's the Goal?
The Republicans behind the new committee say they wanted to be like the Senate's Church Committee of the 1970s. Back then, Democratic Senator Frank Church of Idaho led an extensive probe of U.S. intelligence agencies and the IRS that uncovered decades of malfeasance by officials. The FBI election interference will be a major theme in this subcommittee; it'll also look at the White House and Justice Department's connection with the National School Boards Association. New York Congressman Jerry Nadler is the top Democrat opposite GOP Chairman Jim Jordan on the Judiciary Committee: It aims to undermine the safeguards of our democracy.
