Sen. Schatz to Stall Trump’s State Dept Noms Until USAID Back

Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, on Monday said he would stall President Donald Trump’s State Department nominees until USAID, the U.S. agency charged with delivering humanitarian assistance overseas, is back, according to The Wall Street Journal.

“I will oppose unanimous consent,” he told the Journal. “I will vote no. I will do maximal delays until this is resolved.”

The report was published Sunday night, hours before USAID staffers were instructed to stay out of the agency’s Washington headquarters after billionaire Elon Musk announced Trump had agreed with him to shut the agency.
