US Senate committee to hold hearing for FCC nominee
The U.S. Senate Commerce Committee plans to hold a hearing on November 10 to examine President Donald Trump's nominee for a position on the five-member Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The nominee, Danielle Thumann Severs, is a senior counsel to FCC Chair Brendan Carr. Severs was nominated by Trump in August to fill one of the two open seats on the commission.
Currently, the FCC consists of two Republicans and one Democrat, with Commissioner Anna Gomez being the sole Democrat. Trump previously removed two Democrats from the Federal Trade Commission and dismissed several other Democrats, potentially including Gomez if Severs is confirmed.
