White House Quietly Drops Its Own Guatemala Ambassador Pick
The same list advances eleven nominees, federal judges included, but gives no reason for withdrawing the Guatemala ambassador pick.
- Juan Rodriguez's Guatemala ambassador nomination, sent March 9, was withdrawn this week, unexplained.
- Anna St. John moves to a lifetime seat on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
- Three Veterans Claims judges and two Sentencing Commission members round out the eleven names.
Why it matters: A nomination withdrawn without a stated reason is a decision made and kept from public view.
