“Some Republican senators are pushing for the unusual step of making public a key vote on Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination in the Senate Intelligence Committee, in an attempt to exert pressure on the members of a panel that typically does business behind closed doors,” Politico reports.

“The pressure campaign by senators allied with President Donald Trump, aimed at Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Tom Cotton, was described by two Senate GOP officials granted anonymity to speak about private deliberations.”
