Schumer Under Investigation Over Comments He Made About Kavanaugh, Gorsuch in 2020

Senator Chuck Schumer is facing an investigation after comments he made in 2020. U.S. Attorney Ed Martin has confirmed a preliminary inquiry into Schumer’s statements regarding Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch.

In March 2020, Schumer warned the justices they would “pay a price” if they voted to overturn Roe v. Wade. This remark was made outside the U.S. Supreme Court, drawing national attention. Schumer’s comments followed a heated national debate over women’s reproductive rights, according to Trending Politics News.

Schumer claimed in his speech that Republican-led legislatures were aggressively attacking women’s rights across the nation. His words escalated tensions as he specifically addressed Kavanaugh and Gorsuch. “You will pay the price,” Schumer said, implying retribution if the justices voted to limit abortion rights.

The backlash was swift, leading Schumer to later clarify his remarks on the Senate floor. He denied any intent to threaten the justices, instead accusing conservative critics of misinterpreting his words. Despite this clarification, Schumer faced an ethics complaint.
