In a flurry of action Thursday, the Senate confirmed dozens of President Trump's nominees that had been logjammed amid the partisan standoff over the GOP efforts to repeal Obamacare.
Ambassadors, agency staff and officials in the defense apparatus all saw their nominations sail to easy confirmation. More nominees have been confirmed this week than had been previously so far in the entire year, aides said.
Among them were former Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison to be the U.S. permanent representative on the Council of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and Ray Washburne of Texas to be president of the Overseas Private Investment Corp.
