McConnell 'OK' with stripping Confederate names from military bases
by Susan Ferrechio, Chief Congressional Correspondent |
 | June 16, 2020 03:30 PM

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell does not oppose renaming U.S. military bases to erase associations with Confederate officers, he told reporters Tuesday.

McConnell, a Kentucky Republican and descendant of a Confederate soldier, declined to comment on President Trump’s threat to veto an upcoming Defense Department spending authorization bill if it includes a provision to rename several bases named after Confederate officers.

“If it’s appropriate to take another look at these names, I’m personally OK with that,” McConnell told reporters after a closed-door luncheon with fellow Republicans.

McConnell said he is opposed to removing Confederate statues from the Capitol, however. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has called on the committee overseeing the National Statuary Hall to remove 11 Confederate figures and may call up a House bill that would also require their removal.

AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.
