President Trump’s energy team is scheduled to be voted on next week after facing delays because of outstanding questions from Democrats over Trump’s nominee to lead the Energy Department, former Republican Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
The Energy and Natural Resources Committee said Wednesday that it will hold votes Tuesday after being forced to scrub votes earlier in the week ahead of Republican and Democratic retreats. It will vote on the nominations of Perry and Rep. Ryan Zinke, the Republican Montana lawmaker picked to lead the Interior Department.
