We’re covering the latest from a plane crash near Washington, D.C., that appears to have killed everyone on board and confirmation hearings for three of Trump’s most controversial cabinet nominees.
Asked by The Daily Wire whether it is helpful to have his Secretary of Transportation confirmed only a day before this tragedy, and whether this incident intensified his interest in getting his other nominees confirmed quickly as well, Trump responded: “We want fast confirmations and the Democrats are doing everything they can to delay them. They’ve taken too long.”
