Duckworth Ends Hold On Military Promotions

Senator Tammy Duckworth is ending her hold on hundreds of military promotions.  The Illinois Democrat made the move to ensure a key impeachment witness would also get his promotion.  Duckworth had concerns Alexander Vindman would be passed over after he testified in the inquiry against President Trump.  But, she said the Defense Department “set the record straight,” and Vindman would advance to colonel.  The block would have affected over 11-hundred service members.
