Senate Subpoena Vote Delayed: Ethics Probe into Supreme Court Faces Challenges

The Senate Judiciary Committee recently postponed a vote initially scheduled for Thursday, which was set to decide on the authorisation of subpoenas for influential conservatives, Harlan Crow and Leonard Leo. The subpoenas are part of an ethics probe into the Supreme Court initiated by the Democratic party. The reason given for the delay was cited as “scheduling issues” by Senator Dick Durbin. However, the decision also came in the wake of a threat by Republicans to press for their own subpoenas. More details on the deferral and the ongoing investigation can be found on Law360.
