Adeel Mangi withdrew from federal appeals court nomination, accusing senators of anti-Muslim bias.

Adeel Mangi, the first Muslim nominated for a federal appeals court, withdrew his nomination, accusing senators of a biased smear campaign. Republicans opposed his appointment, questioning his views on Israel and 9/11, while Mangi claimed the scrutiny was due to anti-Muslim bias. His withdrawal follows a Senate deal that stalled further circuit court confirmations. Mangi criticized the confirmation process, saying it could discourage qualified individuals from public service.
