Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., warned Senate Democrats on Tuesday regarding their plans to issue subpoenas to two prominent billionaires and a conservative activist due to their close associations with conservative members of the Supreme Court.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., who chairs the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Federal Courts, announced on Monday that the Senate Judiciary Committee would vote to authorize subpoenas for billionaire real estate magnate Harlan Crow and mortgage company owner Robin Arkley II, The Hill reported.
"What he's targeting here are private citizens with no legislative purpose. I think it's entirely and absolutely inappropriate," McConnell stated during a press conference on Tuesday. Durbin further revealed that the committee would be issuing a subpoena for Leonard Leo, the head of the Federalist Society, who had joined Thomas for a vacation at Crow's Camp Topridge resort in the Adirondacks and had been involved in orchestrating Alito's fishing excursion in Alaska.
Durbin informed The Hill that he expects to secure sufficient Democrat votes within the committee to approve the subpoenas.
