The committee led by Sen. Lisa Murkowski postponed a vote on six Trump administration nominees the same day that a Cabinet secretary allegedly threatened retribution against the Alaska Republican over her healthcare vote.
The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee publicized the postponement of the vote, which included three Department of the Interior nominees, shortly after 3 p.m. on Wednesday.
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke called Murkowski and Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) that afternoon, saying that her vote against debate on ObamaCare repeal might steer the administration away from policies that benefit her state, the Alaska Dispatch News reported.
Im not going to go into the details, but I fear that the strong economic growth, pro-energy, pro-mining, pro-jobs and personnel from Alaska who are part of those policies are going to stop, Sullivan told the newspaper about his call from Zinke. Murkowskis staff did not return requests for comment on whether the developments are linked, and the committee has not said why the meeting was postponed.

Drumpf is such an idiot, he thinks everyone is afraid of him and all he has to do is bluster and threaten and they'll cave. Hope Murkowski's committee doesn't meet for many months, it would serve the orange assface right.
