WASHINGTON — Capitol Hill is abuzz with speculation that Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren will pursue a new high-profile Senate committee assignment as she seeks to reach beyond being Washington’s chief Wall Street critic and become the Democrats’ most powerful Donald Trump antagonist.

One position some in the Senate believe Warren is eyeing is a seat on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The panel will be the epicenter of Democrats’ efforts to challenge Trump’s pick to replace Justice Antonin Scalia, who died in February, on the US Supreme Court, one of the most consequential battles looming on the Senate’s horizon.

And it appears that Democrats will have an opening to fill on the judiciary panel. New York Senator Chuck Schumer will be stepping down from all his current committee assignments when he takes over as Senate minority leader next year, said Schumer spokesman Matt House. That includes Schumer’s seat on the Judiciary Committee.
