Federal Times: Democratic Virginia senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine took Jan. 24’s Senate Committee on the Budget hearing as a chance to pillory Rep. Mick Mulvaney’s over President Trump’s federal hiring freeze.
Mulvaney, R-S.C. — the Trump administration’s nominee as director of the Office of Management and Budget — was peppered repeatedly with questions about Trump’s executive order halting federal hiring and his potential agenda for government employees.
“Why is the administration pitching the false view that federal workers are corrupt or beholden to special interests,” Kaine pressed, referencing remarks Trump made as a candidate when he announced the hiring freeze in October.
