As the legal community continues to grapple with sexual harassment allegations against judges, Democratic senators are intensifying their focus on how judges approach sexual harassment lawsuits.

In a hearing Wednesday, Democratic senators pushed U.S. District Judge Kurt Engelhardt, nominated by President Donald Trump for a spot on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, on his decisions in several sexual harassment and discrimination lawsuits in the Eastern District of Louisiana. Senators wanted to know how and why Engelhardt decided to dismiss several cases.
