Bernie Sanders Fights to Oust Two Hillary Clinton Backers From Key Convention Posts

Bernie Sanders is fighting to oust two Hillary Clinton supporters heading key Democratic National Convention committees, despite the party’s refusal to remove them, in the latest sign of disunity amid a bitter fight for the presidential nomination.

An attorney for Mr. Sanders’s campaign sent a letter to Democratic National Committee officials on Friday asking them to disqualify former congressman Barney Frank and Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy, who are co-chairmen of the convention’s rules and platform committees, respectively.
