K.T. McFarland renominated for Singapore ambassadorship

The White House renominated K.T. McFarland for the position of U.S. ambassador to Singapore on Monday, despite her coming under scrutiny by congressional investigators as part of their probe into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
The Office of the Press Secretary announced the move along with 75 other administrative nominations for confirmation by the Senate.
McFarland, formerly a deputy national security adviser and close ally of former national security adviser Michael Flynn, was initially nominated in May, but has seen her nomination stalled in Congress over lingering concerns about her knowledge of contacts between Trump campaign officials and Russian operatives.
Two Democratic Senators, Ben Cardin of Maryland and Cory Booker of New Jersey, called for McFarland’s nomination to be placed on hold in December until Congress could re-examine the extent of her “knowledge and involvement” about the communications.
