Senate Republicans Probe Marston Firing In Civiletti Hearings
Senate Republicans on the Judiciary Committee push into the firing of U.S. Attorney David Marston as they examine Benjamin Civiletti’s nomination for deputy attorney general. Sen. Malcolm Wallop says the Justice Department acted with a cloak of righteousness, while Civiletti testifies Marston’s dismissal was not his concern. The panel, led by Sen. Eastland, plans a Saturday session to speed hearings amid Panama Canal treaty debates.
