Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is blocking State Department officials' nominations, citing a slow response over his inquiries on Hillary Clinton's email and a former top aide.
The chairman of the Judiciary Committee in a statement included in Wednesday's Congressional Record said that he would object to roughly 20 foreign officer nominations.
"I will object because, in addition to the multiple inquiries I have made that are still unanswered, I sent another letter to the State Department today and the Department has failed to confirm receipt, yet again," Grassley said. "In addition, my staff placed multiple phone calls to Department personnel to inquire as to the status of the most recent letter. Department personnel have failed even to return phone calls."
