(Free Beacon) Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has abandoned hopes of confirming Third Circuit Appeals Court nominee Adeel Mangi, whom some Senate Democrats opposed over links to anti-police groups uncovered by the Washington Free Beacon.
Schumer struck a deal Thursday with Republicans to abandon floor votes for Mangi and three other appellate court nominees in exchange for easing the process to confirm a dozen Biden district court nominees.
“The trade was four circuit nominees — all lacking the votes to get confirmed — for more than triple the number of additional judges moving forward,” a Schumer spokesman said in a statement.
