Trump was right again.
The confirmation hearing for Trump’s Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins was postponed on Monday after the FBI slow-rolled its customary background check.
“Hearing for VA Sec nominee Collins postponed. VA Cmte chair Moran: Congressman Doug Collins has submitted all his paperwork in a timely manner and has been transparent and forthcoming with the committee..At this time, the FBI has not completed its customary background check of Congressman Collins. In accordance with long-standing practice, the committee should have an opportunity to review Congressman Collins’ FBI file before the confirmation hearing. I expect the FBI to complete its review quickly so that the committee can move forward with its role of evaluating the President’s nominee,” Fox News Congress reporter Chad Pergram said on Monday.
President Trump chose former Georgia Congressman and veteran Doug Collins to head the VA in November.
“Doug is a Veteran himself, who currently serves our Nation as a Chaplain in the United States Air Force Reserve Command, and fought for our Country in the Iraq War,” Trump wrote on Truth Social in November. “We must take care of our brave men and women in uniform, and Doug will be a great advocate for our Active Duty Servicemembers, Veterans, and Military Families to ensure they have the support they need. Thank you, Doug, for your willingness to serve our country in this very important role.” […]
Honored to accept @realDonaldTrump nomination as Secretary of Veterans Affairs. Our heroes deserve the best care and support.
We'll fight tirelessly to streamline and cut regulations in the VA, root out corruption, and ensure every veteran receives the benefits they've earned.… pic.twitter.com/StWK0XcYAm
