Durbin doubles down support for controversial ATF nominee Chipman as moderate Dems still undecided
Fox News
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin doubled down Monday on his support for President Biden's nominee to run the bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) after Republicans asked the committee to hold an extra hearing on David Chipman's nomination to examine bias allegations against him.
"ATF needs a Senate-confirmed leader, and Mr. Chipman is well-qualified and has been extensively vetted for the role. He deserves to be confirmed," Durbin said in a response letter. "And it is my fervent hope that Committee Republicans will quit embracing anonymously-sourced efforts to smear Mr. Chipman." The comments come as Chipman's nomination is stalled in the Senate. He received a party-line vote in the Judiciary Committee, which empowers Democrats, who are in the majority, to discharge his nomination and bring it to the floor for a final vote.
