Republican senators are asking Attorney General Merrick Garland why the Justice Department hasn’t prosecuted any of the protesters outside of Supreme Court justices’ homes in violation of federal law.
In a letter Wednesday to Mr. Garland, warned that the threat “is only escalating,” referring to a California man arrested last week on attempted murder charge after he traveled to the home of Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh with plans to kill him.
“We continue to be baffled over the lack of prosecutions under Title 18, Section 1507 of the U.S. Code. We understand it is the policy of the Justice Department not to discuss any pending or potential investigations, but this is an urgent matter of national importance,” they wrote in the letter.
