Nominations and Withdrawals Sent to the Senate

President Donald Trump sent the Senate a new slate of nominations for senior administration, diplomatic, and judicial posts, including nominees for ambassador to Australia, top roles at the White House budget office, Health and Human Services, Treasury, Defense, State, Commerce, and two federal appeals court judgeships. The action also includes nominations for seats on the Inter-American Foundation’s board, including one reappointment. At the same time, Trump formally withdrew four earlier nominations for positions at the Labor Department, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and National Park Service. The purpose of the action is to advance new personnel choices that require Senate confirmation while clearing out selected previous nominations.
