Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina filed a motion to expel a Democrat from Congress over charges related to the assault of a federal official in New Jersey.
Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver of New Jersey was charged with assaulting, impeding, and interfering with law enforcement after she and other Democrats interrupted operations at a detention center in Newark.
‘The evidence is clear. The charges are serious. And the public deserves to know that criminal conduct in the halls of Congress has consequences.’
McIver has defended her actions by saying she and the other members of Congress were merely trying to fulfill their oversight authority at the Delaney Hall center on May 9.
