Chuck Schumer picked the wrong moment to go on a partisan rant
CNN
The Senate was in self-congratulatory mode on Thursday night.
Eleven Republicans had just joined all 50 Democrats (and independents who caucus with Democrats) to end debate on a deal that would pay the country's debt obligations through early December -- preventing an economically catastrophic default.
Senators were milling around on the chamber floor, chatting. And in that moment, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer decided to absolutely let Republicans have it.
The judge who oversaw Donald Trump’s criminal hush money trial in New York on Friday informed the former president’s defense team and prosecutors with the Manhattan district attorney’s office that a comment was posted on the New York State Unified Court Systems’ public Facebook page last week by a poster who claimed to be a cousin of a juror, saying that Trump would be convicted.
