Yes. A vote, I would like, Senator, but there are other Republican Members who have objections to all three nominees, and I am not authorized to consent for them.

No accountability. There has been no one fired. There has been no one relieved of command. This administration has stonewalled. They have dragged their feet. They have refused to cooperate. Oh, we have had hearings, and they have had…

I do object to them, Senator. Are you asking me if I object to having a vote on them? Or are you asking me if I object to them?

I would hope that as we discuss violent extremism that one thing that we could all agree on is that it is wrong and dangerous for any political actor, and any executive administration, to try to leverage the threat of violent extremism, to…

This is startling information. This Committee needs to hold a hearing to follow up on the testimony that the Secretary gave on the inconsistencies that we now find in these documents, and frankly, on this Administration's concerted efforts…

Are new coins being purposely designed or being made and purposely designed to be more opaque, in your observation?

Why do you think it is that criminals are disproportionately using cryptocurrencies as opposed to, say, U.S. dollars?

had there been a recorded vote, I would have voted no on S. Res. 134, a resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that the President should work with the Government of the United Kingdom to conclude negotiations for a comprehensive…
