Democratic Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon is one of Donald Trump’s fiercest critics. In an interview that aired Monday on The Hill TV, Merkley expressed his belief that Trump and the White House counsel’s office have acted in violation of the separation of powers of the U.S. Constitution.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), both possible 2020 Democratic Party candidates for president, on Sunday night demanded that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh withdraw his nomination. They made their demands after a second sexual misconduct allegation emerged against the right-wing judge who Donald Trump chose for the high court.
