President Trump's choice to run the Bureau of Land Management, Kathleen Sgamma, has withdrawn from consideration, the White House said Thursday.
Sgamma was scheduled to go before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee on Thursday for her confirmation hearing, but Republican Chairman Mike Lee said at the outset of the hearing that the White House informed him earlier in the morning her name had been withdrawn. The White House confirmed the news.
"We accept her withdrawal and look forward to putting forth another nominee," White House spokesperson Liz Huston said in a statement.
