Klobuchar: Trump’s Nominees Must Have FBI Checks

November 24, 2024 Democrats, Politics

“Our job is to look at the FBI background check and is to ask some questions to make sure they’re fulfilling the mission of the department. I am concerned with all these nominees, 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 days. You look at some of the nominees and some of the issues with them. You have to be able to find out what went on.

“We require these background checks of line DEA agents, drug enforcement agents. We require of first time prosecutors for the federal government. Why wouldn’t we get these background checks for the most important jobs in the United States government?

“I was noticing that Senator Hagerty talked about getting his papers in. That’s part of getting your papers in. So if they keep delaying on these background checks, we will have a delay in getting these cabinet officials in.

“And I don’t want to have a delay. I want to have the hearings. I want to make a decision on each one of them, on the merits, as I’ve done in the past, and I can’t do that without the background checks.” – Sen. Amy Klobuchar, today on ABC This Week.
