Rep. Brad Schneider tells Haaretz why he’s drafting a House resolution to censure GOP Rep. Greene after she compared COVID restrictions to Nazi actions during the Holocaust, including making Jews ‘wear a gold star’
New grand jury seated for next stage of Trump investigation
NEW YORK (AP) â New York prosecutors have convened a special grand jury to consider evidence in a criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump s business dealings, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
The development signals that the Manhattan district attorneyâs office was moving toward seeking charges as a result of its two-year investigation, which included a lengthy legal battle to obtain Trumpâs tax records.
The person familiar with the matter was not authorized to speak publicly and did so on condition of anonymity. The news was first reported by The Washington Post.
Republican leaders are forcefully condemning GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia over her comments comparing House COVID-19 safety measures such as masks to the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany.
U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Tuesday defended her comments comparing mask mandates to the Holocaust as criticisms about the comments mounted even among fellow Republicans.
The first-term Georgia representative, who was once a staunch believer in QAnon, made the remarks in response to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's announcement that masks will still be required on Capitol Hill until everyone can prove they are vaccinated.
