A nominee selected by President Donald Trump will get a Senate hearing on Thursday for a top State Department position, in spite of a long, documented history of “violent” and “racist comments.”
Jeremy Carl, the president’s pick for assistant secretary of state for international organizations, is set to appear Thursday before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He previously served in Trump’s first administration as Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Interior. If confirmed, Carl will oversee more than 100 diplomats worldwide and work closely with the United Nations agencies on human rights, immigration, refugees, and global development, including UNICEF and the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization.
