The Republican caucus said that Moore's actions had "caused unnecessary tension and hostility" within the caucus.

Moore has defended his actions, saying that he is simply trying to "defend the rule of law."

The suspension of Moore is the latest sign of the deep divisions within the Republican Party over Trump.

The suspension of Moore is likely to further inflame tensions between the two factions of the Republican Party.

It remains to be seen whether Moore will be able to rejoin the Republican caucus in the future.
