Senator tells future judges they're "ridiculous" for denying the 2020 election results.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) challenged federal judicial nominees put forward by President Donald Trump during a tense Senate hearing, criticizing what he described as scripted and evasive responses.
The Rhode Island Democrat also called out nominees for declining to directly answer questions from Sen. Richard Blumenthal, including on the 2020 election results and the Capitol riot.
