This is a must-watch 5 minute video of a job interview gone back for a position as a federal judge. Earlier this month, a Trump judicial nominee fumbles basic questions about the law and Republican Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) devastatingly made his point.
A clip of one of President Trump’s federal judicial nominees struggling to answer rudimentary questions about the law garnered well more than 1 million views in a matter of hours on Thursday night and stoked speculation that another of the president’s nominations might get derailed.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) shared footage of Matthew Petersen, a nominee for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, getting quizzed by Sen. John Neely Kennedy (R-La.) on basic aspects of trial procedure during his appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.
For five painfully awkward minutes, Petersen, a member of the Federal Election Commission and a lawyer with no trial experience, fumbled with Kennedy’s questions, visibly uncomfortable as the lawmaker pressed him about how things work in a federal courtroom.
NOTE: After this, this guy withdrew from the nomination because he knew he didn't have the experience. At least he made the right choice.
