Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., is slow-walking the confirmations of multiple nominees for U.S attorney over a local clash between Portland protesters and U.S. marshals during the George Floyd protests back in the summer of 2020, according to The Detroit News.
Cotton formally objected to their confirmations during a Wednesday Senate hearing, demanding that the Justice Department pay the legal bills over four U.S. marshals who were sued by Portland protesters injured during the protests.
