WASHINGTON — After the sudden withdrawal this week of President
Donald Trump's nominee for a top post at the Federal emergency
Management Agency, Senate Democrats are raising concerns about the White
House's vetting process.
"The White House may have thought, 'Well, no
one will pay any attention to this — this will be ignored.' Obviously,
it was not ignored," said Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., a member of the
Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, which had been
considering Daniel A. Craig's nomination for the No. 2 spot at FEMA.
Craig withdrew his nomination on Wednesday
after NBC News questioned him about the findings of an unreleased 2011
federal investigation, which concluded that he had submitted a fraudulent travel voucher and falsified timekeeping records during his time in the administration of President George W. Bush.
