Durbin lifts hold after Senate Dems privately press Zinke

摘要

A private meeting in a third-floor Capitol hideaway office yesterday between Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke and Senate Democrats has started freeing up stalled Interior Department nominees. The session convened at 3 p.m. by Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) gave several lawmakers a chance to press Zinke on the Trump administration's controversial review of national monuments. Zinke, in turn, wants Durbin to release a hold on several nominees.
