Democrats fume over Alito-Trump call

Senate Democrats are furious that President-elect Trump has reached out to conservative Justice Samuel Alito amid a push by Trump for the high court to halt his criminal sentencing. 

Alito has repeatedly angered Democrats over reports that he took expensive trips hosted by wealthy donors and that his wife flew flags signaling her political rooting interests at two of their homes. 

Now, Democrats are warning Alito and other court conservatives not to interfere in Trump's criminal sentencing.
