The director of the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) on Saturday accused Senate Republicans of rushing forward nominees for Trump's administration. There are are nine confirmation hearings scheduled for the coming week, including six set to take place Wednesday.
In a letter to Senate Democrats, Walter Shaub Jr. said the busy hearing schedule has overwhelmed his office. He said the OGE has not yet completed ethics screening reviews for several nominees.
“This schedule has created undue pressure on OGE’s staff and agency ethics officials to rush through these important reviews.”
Sen. Elizabeth Warren called Saturday for the Senate to postpone confirmation hearings until the ethics screenings are complete, as did the Democratic National Committee.
