GOP delays vote on Loretta Lynch nomination
WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans delayed a committee vote on the president’s nominee for attorney general Thursday, saying they had more questions for Loretta Lynch.
Democrats complained Lynch was being held to a double standard compared to other nominees and said her nomination should be voted on immediately.
“Clearly she’s been treated differently, and I guess that’s what I object to, because there are sensitivities,” Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said at a meeting of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
