Bill would protect Obama holdovers at VOA, other entities.
Outgoing Sen. Bob Corker (R., Tenn.) is teeing up another parting shot to President Trump by facilitating an effort to undermine his choice to lead the nation's taxpayer-funded global broadcasting operation, according to several GOP sources.
The same day Corker rebuked Trump by supporting a bill forcing the United States to withdraw from Yemen, the vocal Trump critic quietly held a Senate Foreign Relations Committee vote approving a bill that would greatly curtail the power of Michael Pack, the incoming new head of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, or USAGM.
Corker, who is retiring at the end of the year, and Sen.

Bush League Republicans MUST become extinct before the Republic does.
Crapweasel Corker is a very small man in every way. He is obviously terminally jealous of President Trump, a Big, Big Man. He will be missed with relief and jubilation.
So the turncoat and the corrupt pedophile team up. The Founders must be weeping....

Separation of Powers is apparently DEAD in this country.
Corker and Flake concluding their years of treason and walking out the door with middle fingers raised high in a big FU to the American people.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s enough rinos in the Senate to override a Trump veto.
If I was taught right in college if Trump doesn’t sign it or veto it, it becomes law.
Then what is a POCKET VETO?
I thought no if he does not sign it is called a pocket veto.
I don’t know if McConnell is beholden to bring that legislation up for a vote on the floor to attach it to the must pass stuff, is he?
Any insight, Larry?
Veto it Don. It also lacks border wall funding
Hopefully, Liddle Bob Corker’s bill will be voted down. If not, it will be vetoed.
Good way to describe him: a small man
No.
I guess I have it backwards. So to stop it he would have to veto.
I was right the first time.
