The Senate is poised to vote in the coming days on President Donald Trump’s nominee to be EPA’s top attorney.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) took steps Monday to wind down debate on Sean Donahue’s bid for EPA general counsel.
Democrats have accused Donahue — who served at EPA during Trump’s first term and also worked at a solar company and a New York law firm — of not having enough qualifications or experience for the position.

Donahue has practiced law for less than three years and has supervised only a handful of attorneys — far fewer than the 200 who work at EPA’s Office of General Counsel.
