Senate Judiciary Chairman Grassley Moving to Finance Panel

Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley, currently head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, plans to seek to lead the chamber's Finance Committee when the next Congress convenes in January, he said in a statement on Friday.

His move would clear the way for Sen. Lindsey Graham, a GOP colleague, to take over the Judiciary gavel.  Graham has publicly stated his interest in that job if it opened up.
