With their confirmation hearings behind them, the fates of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Donald Trump’s nominee for health secretary, and Tulsi Gabbard, his pick for director of national intelligence,
President Donald Trump’s most controversial Cabinet nominees have flooded the zone Thursday in back-to-back-to-back confirmation hearings.
President Trump signed an executive order Thursday directing the release of federal government documents related to the assassinations of former President John F. Kennedy, former Attorney General
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel are expected to be grilled by senators during their confirmation hearings.
Gabbard, a military combat veteran and former Democratic congresswoman and presidential candidate, was tapped by Trump to be director of national intelligence. Olivier last month handicapped her as an “uphill climb” to get confirmed, and more recent developments likely wouldn’t change that rating.
Trump's order also directs the Director of National Intelligence to immediately review the records on the Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. assassinations and present a plan for their full and complete release within 45 days.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) appeared on The View Thursday to discuss the confirmation hearing for Tulsi Gabbard.
An executive order by Donald Trump demands the nation's security organizations create plans to release confidential records regarding the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.
The executive order Trump signed Thursday also aims to declassify the remaining federal records relating to the assassinations of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. The order is among a flurry of executive actions Trump has quickly taken the first week of his second term.
The order directs the director of national intelligence and the attorney general to develop a plan within 15 days to declassify the remaining John F. Kennedy records, and within 45 days for the other two cases.
To be confirmed as health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. can afford to lose no more than three Republican votes if all Democrats are united in their opposition to him.
