One of President Donald Trump’s nominees to serve as a US district judge struggled to answer basic legal questions during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in which a top Republican senator inquired about his qualifications.
Matthew Spencer Petersen was part of a panel of nominees being interviewed on Wednesday. In one clip, the Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana asked the panel members to raise their hands to answer the question, “Have any of you not tried a case to verdict in a courtroom?”
Petersen appeared to be the only person to raise his hand.
Kennedy then peppered Petersen with additional questions that seemed to get progressively more basic.
