2 Minute Article DOJ Investigates Schumer's Supreme Court Threats

The Department of Justice has launched an investigation into Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer regarding comments he made in 2020 that were perceived as threatening towards Supreme Court justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. During a pro-abortion rally, Schumer warned the justices they would “pay the price” for their decisions, which drew criticism from Chief Justice John Roberts. The investigation signals a serious approach to threats against public officials, and Schumer has since expressed regret over his choice of words while maintaining that he did not intend to threaten anyone.
