GOP ignores scandals, advances controversial judicial nominee

Close video The Rachel Maddow Show, 11/6/19, 9:26 PM ET Trump nominee worked on illegal plan to deny help to scam victims Rachel Maddow reports on a memo that shows that controversial Donald Trump judicial nominee Steven Menashi helped craft an illegal plan to deny debt relief to victims of a scammy for-profit college. share tweet email save Embed Steven Menashi, one of Donald Trump’s far-right lawyers, has become one of the year’s most controversial judicial nominees for good reason.

That’s not too surprising – GOP senators nearly always serve as a rubber stamp for Trump’s far-right picks for the federal judiciary – but the vote came on the heels of this New York Times report, published yesterday, which common sense suggests should’ve at least given the Judiciary Committee pause.

If you missed Rachel’s coverage of this last night, I’d recommend taking the time to watch the segment, because this story’s a doozy. The Obama administration investigated and agreed that these students who’d been taken advantage of deserved a break. In fact, the Obama administration determined that it’d be fair to simply forgive the loan debts of the for-profit colleges’ apparent victims.

The policy was set out in a memo written by the department’s top lawyer. His name was Steven Menashi.
