The fledgling Trump administration loses another piece. After the Flynn case, Security adviser fired for a series of casual phone calls with the Russian ambassador, this time it's the turn of Andrew Puzder, entrepreneur in the fast food branch and Minister of Labor in charge (obviously an enemy of minimum wage laws). Just today the Senate should have ratified his appointment.
Eventually, however, Puzder had to give up, overwhelmed by a series of scandals that emerged in recent weeks which highlighted various lawsuits for abuses brought against him by his employees and also the hiring of an illegal immigrant maid. Not exactly the best of credentials for a pro-Mexico border wall politician. Finally, there is also a complaint from his ex-wife for domestic violence.
According to NBC and Fox, the Republican leadership has asked the White House to revoke Puzder's nomination because there were not enough senators ready to confirm him. Instead of him, Trump thinks of Vice Admiral Robert Harvard.
