Скачать или смотреть US Republicans 'wait and see' on intel nominee

(30 Jul 2019) US Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is joining his fellow Republicans in taking a wait-and-see approach to US President Donald Trump's nominee for national intelligence director, saying that he doesn't know him.
McConnell said he looks forward to meeting Texas Rep. John Ratcliffe, the president's choice for the job.
Ratcliffe would replace Dan Coats, a former Indiana senator who had broad support in Congress and had repeatedly clashed with Trump.
McConnell said that "generally speaking, I'd lean toward the president's nominees." But McConnell declined to fully endorse Ratcliffe. Several other Republican senators also said they had not yet met Ratcliffe and needed to hear from him before taking a position.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said he does not think Ratcliffe is qualified saying he "has shown no inclination to speak truth to power."
