Elizabeth Warren silenced over senate criticism of Jeff Sessions

US Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren has been silenced by Senate Republicans after reading a letter written by the widow of Martin Luther King Jr.

Majority leader Mitch McConnell said Ms Warren had broken Senate rules because the letter impugned the conduct of Senator Jeff Sessions - who the Senate is considering for the role of Attorney General.
