Politico: Duckworth threatens to block military nominees unless impeachment witness Vindman gets promotion
Duckworth said her blockade on senior nominees would exempt Army Gen. Gustave Perna, nominated to lead the effort to develop a coronavirus vaccine.
The Democratic Senator from Illinois says she will block more than 1000 military promotions until Defense Secretary Mark Esper “confirms in writing that he did not, or will not, block the expected and deserved promotion” of Alexander Vindman to colonel.
