US President-elect Donald Trump - Sputnik International

Democrats in the US Congress will put the United States at risk if they follow the lead of Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer and fail to confirm all of President-elect Donald Trump's nominees in a timely manner, Trump spokesman Sean Spicer told reporters in a phone call on Monday.

Why Confirmation of Trump's Pick for State Secretary Tillerson May Not Happen

7 January 2017, 18:00 GMT

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Nine of Trump's cabinet nominees have hearings scheduled this week, including his selections for secretaries of State, Defense and Homeland Security as well as for the director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

"They [Democrats] can aimlessly follow Sen. Schumer and put the American economy and security at risk because of the uncertainty created by lack of continuity of government, or they can join the timely and thorough vetting of cabinet nominees and ensure the President is ready to govern on day one," Spicer stated.
