Another one!
The confirmation hearing for Trump’s DHS Secretary nominee, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has been postponed.
According to Fox News, Governor Noem turned in all of her paperwork on time but the FBI is slow-rolling the process.
Fox News reported:
While more confirmation hearings took shape on Wednesday — including those for secretary of Energy pick Chris Wright, Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi, CIA director selection John Ratcliffe, Transportation Secretary nominee Sean Duffy and Secretary of State nominee Marco Rubio — another key hearing for Trump’s Secretary of Homeland Security nominee Gov. Kristi Noem, R-S.D., was postponed.
According to a source familiar, Noem had completed all necessary paperwork in a timely manner, but the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee is still waiting for the FBI’s portion.
Despite the hearings being moved, Trump’s transition says there will not be delays in confirming his team. “There are no delays, and paperwork is being submitted quickly to ensure the confirmation process is smooth and President Trump is able to implement his agenda mandated by the American people on day one,” Taylor Rogers, Trump-Vance transition spokesperson, said in a statement.
Noem is the third Trump nominee to hit a roadblock during the confirmation process.
On Monday, Senator Mike Lee announced that the confirmation hearing for Trump’s Interior Secretary pick, North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, has been postponed.
Burgum’s hearing was postponed for two days after the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) claimed he was missing paperwork.
According to Senator Mike Lee, Burgum “promptly” submitted his paperwork, but the OGE has yet to complete its review.
On Monday, Democrats on the Senate Energy Panel called for Burgum’s confirmation hearing to be delayed at least a week.
Last week, it was reported that Senate Democrats secretly sabotaged Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation by claiming that she had not provided enough “vetting materials.”
President Trump nominated Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence and the Democrats are sabotaging her confirmation hearing.
Trump warned of this sabotage late last month.
We just won a Historic Landslide and Mandate from the American People, but Senate Democrats are organizing to improperly stall and delay the confirmation process of many of our Great Nominees. They will try all sorts of tricks starting very soon. Republicans must not allow them…
