Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said on Friday that Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) should force members of his caucus to call off hearings and business meetings scheduled next week as part of GOP investigations tied to the Obama administration.
Schumer, in a letter sent to Senate Democrats, said Republicans have become the "conspiracy caucus."
"The Republican-led Judiciary and Homeland Security Committees — two powerful committees with broad jurisdiction over issues related to the coronavirus — have instead used their majority to chase wild conspiracy theories to appease President Trump," Schumer wrote.
"They have failed the American people by turning the institutions of the Senate into an extension of the President’s re-election campaign. ... [The] Republican Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold yet another hearing, not on the pandemic, but on baseless conspiracy theories related to the 2016 election. Leader McConnell should instruct these committees to cancel these conspiracy hearings," Schumer added.
Schumer's letter to Senate Democrats comes as Republicans are ramping up their controversial investigations into Crossfire Hurricane, the name of the FBI's investigation of Russian election interference and the Trump campaign.
Both Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) — the chairmen of the Judiciary and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committees, respectively — are scheduled to hold subpoena votes next week.

No! Suck it, Schmuckey.
Conspiracy hearings bad, collusion hearings good.
All of a sudden not interested in investigating a conspiracy involving Russia. Hmm. How things change.
The Democrats are terrified. Much of this insurrection may be an attempt to shut Congress down and prevent the hearings.
[[[They have failed the American people by turning the institutions of the Senate into an extension of the President’s re-election campaign. .]]]
LOL.
Sorry Chuckie, you are thinking of the House with impeachment and Russia, Russia, Russia..
Paging shifty Adam bull-Schiff, clean-up on isle 9.
You might want to throw the Coronavirus in with that, I certainly wouldn’t put it past the Democrats. They don’t care about anybody.
When the dems start calling looking into the Coup Attempt wild conspiracy theories you know damned well they are scared to death of the Truth about their Coup Attempt against President Trump is about to be revealed.
After Conspiracy Shiff... what a piece of garbage.
Is he trying to pretend that none of what is known happened, idnt?
so, he’s in effect saying that the republicans are becoming what the democarts have been for the last 4 years. Schumer, Nadler, Schiff and all their friends deserve to be behind bars.
Doesn’t hurt to ask...
Your peeps, Chucky, are doing a pretty good job-- all over the country tonight in D run cities-- making the case for the Presidents re-election.
They're idiots and don't realize it. Probably just hoping for police or SS to make a mistake aka Kent State to use against the re-elect.
Boy...Schumer doesn’t have much of a poker face, does he?
The struck pig squeals.
Yes that is curious.
I’d love to help Chuckie find his lamp post - domestic enemy class of traitor.
The Russians had the right idea in Chechnya - us the barrel of a T-72 for the hoist.
Yeah Schmucky, let’s just forget about the TRUTH about your criminal party.
