EXCERPT:

CRUZ: “Secondly, the 15 months that your nomination has been pending, you’ve made not one, not two, not three, you’ve made 12 separate political contributions to senators running for office. I’ve been in the Senate 10 years, I have never seen a nominee make contributions to senators while your nomination is pending. I’ve never seen that once. I had my staff search the records. If we could find anyone in the Trump Administration who had done that, my staff was unable to find that. You’ve been a significant political donor over the years giving over $32,000. You gave — do you believe it was poor judgment to give 12 separate political contributions to Democrat senators while your nomination was pending?”
SOHN: “Senator, I’m a citizen who just wanted to participate in the Democratic process.”
CRUZ: “So, is that yes or no?”
SOHN: “The answer is no.”
