Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) is threatening to block two of President Trump’s ambassador nominees if the administration does not present evidence of progress on releasing funds to the President’s Emergency Plan For Aids Relief (PEPFAR), a government program which provides treatment for HIV and AIDS around the world.
“The only way it seems like you can get the administration’s attention on some of these funding issues is by using the leverage to withhold votes on nominees,” Cornyn said in an interview with Semafor on Tuesday.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee, on which Cornyn sits, is scheduled to vote on the nomination of Kari Lake, a Trump ally and former administration official, to a post as ambassador to Jamaica. They’re also expected to add a vote on the nomination of Doug Mastriano, a longtime Trump supporter and Pennsylvania state senator, as ambassador to Slovakia.
The nominees themselves are not what Cornyn is objecting to; rather, Cornyn said he was using his leverage as a key swing vote on the committee to force the administration to demonstrate that they had released PEPFAR funds that Congress has appropriated.

Unless Senator "Graham" Nordone decides to take up the liberal "Republican" mantle!
His involuntary retirement cannot come soon enough!
He is mia when it comes to protecting America, but when it comes to spending money in third world countries he is a champion. Screw him, leave the ambassadorships blank and Trump should announce he is withholding any payments scheduled.
President’s Emergency Plan For Aids Relief (PEPFAR), a government program which provides treatment for HIV and AIDS around the world.

why is this a cause worth the senator’s attention?
Coryn is just mad because his kickbacks will soon be drying up.
Blackmail comes as easy as breathing to swamp critters and they don’t even try to diguise it.
We are 40 trillion dollars in debt and John Cornyn (R-TX) wants the U.S. to pay for HIV and AIDS treatment to other countries.
He’s been a U.S. senator for 23 years.
Another parasite inflicted on the rest of the nation by ‘The Lesser of Two Evils’ crowd. He should never have been reelected after his first term in office.
$imply a my$tery.
Thank you.
I’m sick of the “better than a Dem” idiots.
The President's Emergency Plan For Aids Relief should be administered the way the President decides. Cornyn is sucking on sour grapes.
Hey CornHole,
how is a program “which provides treatment for HIV and AIDS around the world” any legitimate target for US tax dollars?
Cui Bono?
Who’s on the payroll of the big ones?
or is this just a Crony Big Pharma payout?
Cornyn’s daughter makes a mint on H1B visas.
Cornhole has AIDS. Pass it on.
Send them condoms. Put Newsom in charge. He’ll pay double the market price.
This lying a-hole is just showing who he really is now that he has been voted out. When he, Tillis, Cassidy, and McConnell are gone the Senate and the Country will be so much better off.
Another living breathing argument for Repeal of the 17th Amendment! The Texas legislature would never give him one term in office let alone multiple terms in office.
There is a reason John Cornyn is known as John Cornhole.
One of the many reasons that Texans want Cornyn GONE!
He’s trying to curry favor for his “legacy”
Just like Bush 2 did with his his AIDS BS in the late stages of his presidency
