Washington (AP) -The theory of vaccine. A secret meeting with a dictator. Enemy list.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tarushi Gavad, and Kash Patel, the most controversial Cabinet of President Donald Trump, are Thursdays on Thursdays on a continuous confirmation hearing that the Senate did not see in modern memories. I was flooded in the zone.
Requests, promises, and mental replacements did not occur in political gaps. On the 10th day of a whirlwind -the 10th day of the new White House -Trump himself ran out of how tragic airplanes and helicopters crash dropped out of Washington’s Ronal Dragan National Airport. Everything was deployed.
Watch: National Security Experts share the idea of concerns surrounding Gabbard and Patel.
Then, after the White House suddenly stopped the federal government’s funding for programs that were relying nationwide under the guidance from Trump’s budget pick, it reduced the turbulent week. 。
“The Americans did not vote for this kind of meaningless confusion,” said D-Wash. Senator Patty Malay said before.
Even the most faithful Republican members who are asked to check the Cabinet of Trump and actively advertise the agenda of the White House from the troops of the Footstor -Lady Festival. It was challenging. The majority of the Senate, led by the Republican Party 53-47, is necessary for confirmation, and there is little room for objection.
It is some take -out from this day.
TULSI Gabbard protects her loyalty and invades some
Gabard is considered to be the most dangerous in Trump’s pick, and may lack voting from the Trump Party to confirm the director of the National Information Bureau. However, her hearing in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee provided a roadmap for confirmation.
Watch: Nationwide information candidate Gabard is facing strict questions about Russia, Syria, and Snowden.
It opened with the chairman of the chair, Senate Tom Cotton, and Swatting Back claims that Gabard is a foreign “asset”, probably the secret investigation of other countries, probably Russia. He reviewed multiple FBI background checks on about 300 pages and said he was “clean like WHI.”
However, Mark Warner, Senator Virginia, a top Democratic Party of the panel, questioned whether he could build necessary trust at home and overseas to work.
Gavadd, Deputy Colonel, the Army Preliminary College, defended her loyalty to the United States, who rejected the Kansas Republican Senator Jerry Moran, when Russia asked if she would “get a pass.”
“Senator, I’m angry at the question,” Gabard replied.
After a secret trip in 2017, meeting Syrian President Bashal Asado then fell to the rebellion and fled to Russia, and defended her work as a diplomacy.
Gabard may have invaded some potentially skeptical Republican members. Senator Susan Collins, the main state, asked if Gabard would recommend Edward Snowden’s amnesty. Former government contractors leaked a flock of sensitive intellectual materials, then charged with spies and fled to Russian residency.
Gabard, who called Snowden a brave internal accused, said that “defending the action related to Snowden” is not her responsibility.
One of the notable approval was introduced in an influential voice on Intelligence. He was the chairman of the former House of Representatives Richard Bar and the Intelligence Committee.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. re -pressed the safety of the vaccine
Kennedy surveyed past views on vaccines and investigated whether to ban abortioned drugs, so this time, the Senate Health Committee has two days of grilled grills to become a healthy and welfare secretary. I faced my eyes.
Watch: Republican Senator expressed doubts about RFK Jr. in the latest confirmation hearing.
However, skeptical Senator of the Democratic Party is driving because Kennedy is promptly retained in the past or if he has shifted to a new view, he was raised by his cousin Caroline Kennedy. Whether it is reflected.
“You spent your entire career in the US vaccine program,” said D-Conn Senator Chris Murphy. “I can’t believe you will be in line with science when you become a secretary.”
D-VA. On September 11, 2001, Senator Tim Kane read Kennedy’s comments on the attack he mentioned in social media posts and talked in another direction. ‘T. “
“Wow,” Kane said.
Kennedy replied that his father, Robert F. Kennedy, told him that the people in the power position would lie.
However, Kennedy’s long -standing defense in the anti -vaccine community continued to control his hearing.
Senator Maggie Hassan (DN.H.) succeeded in tears when he told Kennedy that his work had already caused a serious harm by “calming science”. 。
However, the Senator Tommy Tuberville of R-ALA immediately changed his mood as his own sons were a candidate fan, and he was particularly interested in his alternative views on “brought light” to Kennedy. Thanks to the younger generation.
Kennedy said that it was up to Trump, pushing whether to ban abortioned mifepryston.
“I will carry out his policy.”
Kash Patel, a combat with his past, is Spar
Kash Patel has probably appeared as the most combatant candidate as a candidate leading the FBI in front of the Senate Judicial Committee.
Surveillance: The Senator asks the FBI director’s nominated cash patel about the “enemy list” and politics.
Former Capitol Hill’s staff, Patel, faced his own words, books, and public comments, became a Trump enthusiast, and his opinion was taken out of the context as a “unfair” coating specimen. I repeatedly protested.
D-minn. Senator Amy Crob Char, who read the incorrect claims of voters fraud in the 2020 election, read about his published “enemy list,” including former Trump authorities who are critical of the president.
“We’re going to come after you,” she said.
Patel rejected her quote as “partial statements” and “fake”.
The angry Clob Cur was told to the Senator, “It’s his own words.”
Patel, standing near Trump in the aftermath of January 6, 2021, has created a national anthem that attacked in the Parliamentary Hall and featured Trump and the so -called J6 choir as a fundraising activist. The president played a song to hold his campaign rally.
At one harsh moment, ADAM SCHIFF Senator (D-Calif) turned to Patel to see a police officer of the US Council’s Protection of the Hearing Room.
“Tell them what you are proud of. You collect money from those who assaulted their colleagues, the pepper sprinkles them, and beat them in Paul. Tell them that they are proud of what they have said, “said Shif.
Patel counterattack: “It’s a terrible lie, you know it. I have never accepted violence against the enforcement agency.”
Patel said he did not support Trump supporters, including violent riots charged with the attack on January 6.
“I don’t agree with commuting for individuals who have violated the law enforcement,” Patel said.
In another Cabinet Development, Republican members of the Senate Budget Committee have taken the Democratic Party protesting and boycotted the meeting, and then proceeded to confirm the candidate for Trump’s budget candidates.
VOUGHT was an architect of Project 2025, affecting the notes of the Federal government’s freezing this week, causing panic in communities nationwide. The defending group opposed the freezing in court, and the White House has immediately canceled it.
AP communication writers Fanchche Amiri, Matt Brown and Steven Globes have contributed to the report.
