Sen. Klobuchar Emphasizes the Importance of FBI Background Checks for Trump’s Cabinet Nominees: ‘I Want to Make a Decision on Each One of Them’

RUSH EXCERPT:
KLOBUCHAR: "Of course, I do, and that has alwa been the case during democratic or Republican presidents. Our job is to look at the FBI background check, and is to ask them questions to make sure they’re fulfilling the mission of the department. In this case, I am concerned with all these nominees, and I’m not singling her out. If we do not have an agreement for FBI background checks as far as I know, the transition committee has not made that agreement yet. This has been something that’s going on back to Eisenhower’s case, and when you look at some of the nominees and some of the issues with them, not all of them. Not all of them, but when you look at it, you have to be able to find out what went on. We require these background checks of Dea agents, drug enforcement agents. We require them of first-time prosecutors for the federal government. Why wouldn’t we get these background checks for the most important job in the United States government?"
