Washington, D.C. --Today, Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, released the following statement on the House Judiciary Crime Subcommittee leadership:
“Representative Sheila Jackson Lee has built a strong legacy of service on the Judiciary Committee and in Congress. I fully support her decision to voluntarily and temporarily step back from the Crime Subcommittee Chair position to ensure the Subcommittee’s important work continues. This decision does not suggest any culpability by Representative Jackson Lee.
“I am also pleased that Rep. Karen Bass has agreed to serve as interim Chair of the Crime Subcommittee until the matter is resolved and Representative Jackson Lee can resume the role of Chair.
“As we move forward, one of the first priorities of the House Judiciary Committee will be to reauthorize and strengthen the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). Collectively, I as Chairman, Representative Jackson Lee, and Representative Bass will continue working together to strengthen VAWA and to reform our criminal justice system.”
She should resign, just like John Conyers, Jr.
