A Democratic-led U.S. Senate panel authorized subpoenas to two influential conservatives – Harlan Crow and Leonard Leo – as part of an ethics inquiry spurred by reports of undisclosed largesse directed to some conservative Supreme Court justices. Read more about the subpoenas.

The Judiciary Committee voted along party lines to authorize the subpoenas for Crow, a billionaire Republican donor and benefactor of conservative Justice Clarence Thomas, and Leo, a legal activist who was instrumental in compiling former President Donald Trump’s list of potential Supreme Court nominees.

U.S. Justice Dept has a history of ghosting its targets, Preet Bharara has a problem with that

Federal prosecutors rarely tell people who’ve been hauled before grand juries, had their homes searched or otherwise know they’re being investigated if or when the case against them has been closed. Instead, they’re left in legal limbo, writes Jenna Greene. WilmerHale partner Preet Bharara, a former U.S. Attorney in Manhattan, is urging the DOJ to rethink this “thoughtless institutional habit” and let would-be targets know if they’re in the clear. Doing so, he told Greene, would be a way to make the justice system “more fair, open and transparent.”
