A Senate Judiciary Committee hearing turned tense as Senator Sheldon Whitehouse confronted DOJ nominee Paul Ingrassia Ligris over a series of controversial social media posts targeting elected officials and public figures.

Whitehouse questioned why the nominee failed to disclose the posts during the vetting process and pressed him on whether his public comments could affect his ability to administer federal programs fairly and impartially. The exchange grew increasingly heated as Whitehouse read several tweets aloud and challenged the witness's responses.
