Your Guide to Loretta Lynch’s Confirmation Hearing in 42 Seconds

President Obama’s nominee for attorney general, U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch, made her first appearance before lawmakers today, with Republican senators working to make sure Lynch could differentiate herself from her predecessor, Eric Holder.

Lynch testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee this morning for the first part of her confirmation hearing.

Democratic senators were adamant in making sure Lynch was the focus of the hearings, as opposed to Obama and Holder.

Republicans challenged Lynch on whether she supports the president’s immigration policies, including his executive action that would grant legal status and work permits to 5 million immigrants in the country illegally.

But GOP Senators also pressed Lynch on the IRS targeting scandal, in which tea party organizations seeking tax exempt status were unfairly scrutinized. The Justice Department continues to investigate the allegations.

Here are six 7-second Vines that sum up the first part of Lynch’s confirmation hearing. (Click the speaker icon in the lower right corner to hear audio.)
