Meadows voluntarily handed over the messages to the committee last year before deciding not to cooperate with the investigation. In January, the court refused to prevent the Jan. 6 committee from obtaining Trump White House files because of a single judge’s objection: Thomas. “The facts are clear here. This is unbelievable,” Klobuchar told “This Week” co-presenter Jonathan Karl on Sunday. “You have the wife of an incumbent Supreme Court judge … who supports the reversal of a legitimate election for the incumbent president’s chief of staff.” “And she also knows this election, these cases will come before her husband,” she added. “This is a textbook case for his removal, his release from these decisions.” Carl followed: “Okay if he does not, if he does not resign?” Klobuchar said, “all the integrity of the court is on the line here” and that it is seeking leadership from Supreme Court Justice John Roberts and the rest of the court to address the issue. “And it would be better for them to talk about it because you can not have a fair trial of cases related to this election and, in fact, the rules of conduct that apply to all other federal judges say that if it concerns a family member, “It seems impartial, they must withdraw.” “So not only should he resign, but this Supreme Court needs a lot of rules of conduct,” Klobuchar added. The Senate Judiciary Committee concluded confirmation hearings last week for President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court nominee, Katanji Brown Jackson. As West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin has made clear his intention to vote for Jackson, he is well on his way to confirming it with or without Republican support. “And I will clarify here,” Klobuchar said, “it is not going to be confirmed in two years, it is not going to be confirmed in two months. It will be confirmed in two weeks “. The senator also called her a “pillar of power” for the way she “handled these attacks and just sat there and answered their questions.” When Carl asked if Jackson would garner Republican votes, Klobuchar seemed confident he would. “I can not tell you who. I can not tell you how much. But I think that will be very important for this process,” he said. At a crucial moment in his presidency, Biden warned Russian President Vladimir Putin “not to even think about moving an inch into NATO territory” during a speech Saturday at the Royal Castle in Warsaw, Poland. He also surprised many by saying that Putin “could not stay in power”, leading White House officials to make it clear that the United States was not calling for regime change in Russia. But Carl noted that “this was the title all over the world” and “that was the message in Moscow”. Klobuchar responded by saying that it was on the Polish-Ukrainian border and saw and heard firsthand the horror of refugees fleeing Ukraine “leaving behind everything, their stuffed animals and their backpacks, their mothers.” with the suitcases left by their husbands to fight. “ “Vladimir Putin is a monster,” he said. “But the position of the United States government is not to send troops there. It is to give as much help as we can to Ukraine, which includes Switchblade drones, incredible drones that have done a lot of damage to the Russian military.” ABC News’ Benjamin Siegel, Katherine Faulders, Jonathan Karl and Devin Dwyer contributed to this report.
