With a government shutdown looming this weekend, Democratic U.S. Rep. Danny Davis called out Republicans for trying to distract attention from their own problems in the House.
"They can't muster enough agreement within their own ranks to just get a bill to the floor to debate, so it's purely political," Davis said.
"This is not a stunt. Thank God for the light that they're shining on the situation in the city of Chicago. Thank God they care enough to be here and move an entire judiciary committee into the city of Chicago for one day just to hear what's going on," Caldwell said. The hearing will focus on how Democratic leaders are responding to crime. Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx, a frequent target of Republican criticism, is on the agenda.
