Quote of the Day
“Sen. Jim Risch declined to commit to supporting two of Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees: Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence and Pete Hegseth for secretary of defense. “Ask me this question again after the hearings,” Risch told Jewish Insider at the Halifax International Security Forum.“These appointments by the president are constrained by the advice and consent of the Senate. The Senate takes that seriously, and we vet these.””
The next day, James Lankford (R-Okla.), a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, told Dana Bash that his committee will have “lots of questions” to ask Gabbard.
