Freshman Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Holly) woke up “what had been relatively sleepy interrogation” last week of U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, according to the Daily Beast.
Slotkin has an extensive background in national security, having served as acting assistant secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs and in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. If anyone knows what justifies a "national emergency" it is Rep. Slotkin.
The exchanges heated up what had been relatively sleepy interrogation of the secretary by the committee up to that point, wherein Nielsen continued to deny that the Trump administration’s family separation policy existed—a position that Nielsen has taken since that policy first came to light in late spring of last year.
