In more Trump Cabinet news, the Senate voted 55 to 44 on Wednesday to confirm Scott Turner as Department of Housing and Urban Development secretary, despite concerns that his FBI background check had not been completed. Turner is a former developer and NFL player, who’s expected to slash the department’s multibillion-dollar budget and overhaul affordable housing vouchers, as well as programs for unhoused people. Turner is the only African American member of Trump’s Cabinet.
