Polipace has learned that the Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into planned parenthood in an attempt to shut them down, after Session ordered the agency to pursue charges.

Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs Stephen Boyd formally requested unredacted documents from the Senate Judiciary Committee, the same panel that led the congressional probe into the women’s health organization.

This attack comes after a 2015, now discredited video, claimed that Planned Parenthood was selling fetal tissue illegally. Planned Parenthood, at the time, strongly rejected accusations it violated any law or acted unethically.
