Trump was right again.
The confirmation hearing for Trump’s Veterans’ Affair Secretary Doug Collins was postponed on Monday after the FBI slow-rolled its customary background check.
“Hearing for VA Sec nominee Collins postponed. VA Cmte chair Moran: Congressman Doug Collins has submitted all his paperwork in a timely manner and has been transparent and forthcoming with the committee..At this time, the FBI has not completed its customary background check of Congressman Collins. In accordance with long-standing practice, the committee should have an opportunity to review Congressman Collins’ FBI file before the confirmation hearing. I expect the FBI to complete its review quickly so that the committee can move forward with its role of evaluating the President’s nominee,” Fox News Congress reporter Chad Pergram said on Monday.
President Trump chose former Georgia Congressman and veteran Doug Collins to head the VA in November.
“Doug is a Veteran himself, who currently serves our Nation as a Chaplain in the United States Air Force Reserve Command, and fought for our Country in the Iraq War,” Trump wrote on Truth Social in November. “We must take care of our brave men and women in uniform, and Doug will be a great advocate for our Active Duty Servicemembers, Veterans, and Military Families to ensure they have the support they need. Thank you, Doug, for your willingness to serve our country in this very important role.”
Honored to accept @realDonaldTrump nomination as Secretary of Veterans Affairs. Our heroes deserve the best care and support.
We’ll fight tirelessly to streamline and cut regulations in the VA, root out corruption, and ensure every veteran receives the benefits they’ve earned.… pic.twitter.com/StWK0XcYAm

Late last month President Trump sounded the alarm on Senate Democrats’ plan to “improperly stall and delay the confirmation process” of many of his Cabinet nominees.
We just won a Historic Landslide and Mandate from the American People, but Senate Democrats are organizing to improperly stall and delay the confirmation process of many of our Great Nominees. They will try all sorts of tricks starting very soon. Republicans must not allow them…

Last week it was reported that Senate Democrats are secretly sabotaging Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation by claiming she has not provided enough “vetting materials.”
President Trump nominated Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence and the Democrats are sabotaging her confirmation hearing.
“Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is balking at GOP requests to hold a hearing for Gabbard early next week, according to multiple sources familiar with the conversations,” Axios reported last week.
