Senate Republicans repeatedly questioned Deputy Attorney General (AG) Lisa Monaco about a memorandum written by Attorney General Merrick Garland regarding law enforcement responses to alleged harassment toward public education officials.
During a hearing originally scheduled to discuss amendments to the Violence Against Women Act, Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton and Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley repeatedly quizzed Monaco about the memo, which was sent to law enforcement officers and district attorneys Monday night. Garland wrote that the Justice Department “is committed to using its authority and resources to discourage … harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff.”
