Trump to hold first Cabinet meeting, with Elon Musk in attendance
The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hold a confirmation hearing this morning for three of Trump’s nominees for top posts at the Justice Department.
Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, questioned Dhillon’s record in a statement yesterday after having met with her, referring to “her role in advocating for overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election,” which he said raised concerns over her ability to serve as an “independent voice” to protect freedoms.
“I pressed Ms. Dhillon on the importance of protecting civil rights for all Americans, including voting rights, reproductive rights, the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans, and marriage equality,” Durbin said.
