Congresswoman urges impeachment investigation of Judge Mark Fuller
Representative Terri Sewell (D-AL) is urging the House Judiciary committee to conduct an investigation into the impeachment of U.S. District Court Judge Mark Fuller. Sewell sent a letter outlining her request to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte and Ranking Member John Conyers. “Today, I am urging the House Judiciary Committee to commence an investigation into whether Congress should impeach Federal Judge Mark Fuller. In my opinion, Judge Fuller’s recent arrest and subsequent plea to domestic violence is an indefensible violation of the public trust. The integrity of the federal court has already been severely compromised and I no longer have confidence in Judge Fuller’s ability to sit in the judgment of others,” said Sewell On August 9, 2014, Judge Fuller was arrested in Atlanta, Georgia on charges of misdemeanor battery, after attacking his wife in an Atlanta hotel room. On September 10, Congresswoman Sewell called for the resignation of Judge Fuller and on September 16, she released a statement expounding upon her initial call for his resignation. Congresswoman Sewell was subsequently joined by Alabama Senators Richard Shelby and Jeff Sessions and nearly all other members of the Alabama Congressional delegation in calling for Judge Fuller’s resignation.
