Sen. Elizabeth Warren will join the Armed Services Committee next year, a move that will allow the Massachusetts Democrat to bolster her foreign policy and defense credentials.
Warren announced on Wednesday that she will join the powerful panel, which is responsible for approving President-elect Donald Trump's Pentagon and military nominees, in the next Congress.
"All three of my brothers served in the military, and I understand the sacrifices America's servicemembers make to defend our country—and the important work that our Defense Department does to keep Americans safe," she said in a statement.
