Senator Throws A Wrench In Hillary's Confirmation

While everyone else in Obama‘s Cabinet will likely receive their confirmation today, Hillary Rodham Clinton has been roadblocked by Texas’ Republican Senator John Cornyn. His beef with Hill is the exact source and nature of foreign donations to husband Bill‘s foundation, citing a conflict of interest.

Hill has promised to provide further transparency with the foundation’s annual donations, although some of the senators would prefer that the foundation accept no foreign donations at all while she she serves as secretary of state.

Though she is blocked for now, it is expected that Hillary will be confirmed by a roll call vote this Wednesday.
