TL;DR Summary

Biden's federal trial court nominee, Kato Crews, stumbled over a Republican senator's question about the definition of a Brady motion during his confirmation hearing. Crews, a magistrate judge in Denver, has not presided over any criminal cases and was unable to define the motion, which is a request by a defendant to compel prosecutors to turn over potentially favorable evidence. This is the second Biden nominee to stumble during questioning by Republican senators, with the previous nominee, Charnelle Bjelkengren, facing pushback from the committee after failing to answer inquiries about legal theory and constitutional articles.
