House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) issued the following statement in anticipation of tomorrow’s U.S. Department of Justice oversight hearing with U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch:
“There are just four legislative days left before we break for a seven-week recess. There are a number of substantive issues that we should be using that time to address - such as gun violence, voting rights, national security, and the relationship between law enforcement officers and the communities they serve, just to name a few. Each of us should use our five minutes with the United States Attorney General to discuss a topic that has a direct impact on our Nation.
“I hope we can have a substantive debate tomorrow. We certainly need one. Focusing the conversation on Secretary Clinton’s email is a gesture that will do little to help our constituents. It is a matter that the Department of Justice and the FBI have already closed."
