“President Donald Trump has been taking an unusually active role in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s consideration of his nominees to top diplomatic posts, fueling a record confirmation pace on the Senate floor,” Punchbowl News reports.
Said Senate Foreign Relations chair Jim Risch (R-ID): “He’s totally immersed in it… I get calls morning, noon and night from him.
A lot of the nominees are people that are close to him. They call him. And you know what he does? He calls me.”
