Even in death   she  persisted.

Moore and several of her Democratic colleagues have urged multiple congressional committees to investigate  President Trump  over the nearly two dozen claims of sexual harassment and assault that have been lobbed against  him . But the committees have declined to take up the issue  arguing that it goes beyond their investigative scopes.
