🚨NEW: The White House is pushing back on Senate Democrats’ claims that the Trump administration is refusing to nominate Democratic commissioners at independent agencies. In a letter to Senate leaders, the White House says it requested Democratic recommendations for vacancies at both the SEC and CFTC but “has not received names in response.” The letter comes as calls from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to fill vacant minority seats at the SEC and CFTC have grown louder ahead of expected Senate action on the Clarity Act.(Eleanor Terrett)
