In the Senate on Monday, lawmakers voted to cut off debate on the nomination of Scott H. Rash to be U.S. district judge for the District of Arizona.
Up next: the confirmation of Texas lawyer James “Trey” Trainor III, who represented the Trump campaign in 2016, to the Federal Election Commission. Trainor would restore a quorum at the agency, allowing the FEC to hold meetings and conduct official business. Democrats oppose the nomination, as well as the process. With Trainor onboard, the commission would have two Democrats and two Republicans, but typically, FEC nominees have been advanced in bipartisan pairs.

Coronavirus questions
The first monthly report authored by an oversight commission created in the roughly $2 trillion relief package enacted in March arrived Monday morning. It posed more than 50 questions on the impact, effectiveness and transparency of loans and loan guarantees backed by the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve.
The Congressional Oversight Commission sought extensive details about Treasury and the Fed’s management of coronavirus-related business loans. The questions posed by the panel could shine a light into the thinking of commission member Sen. Patrick J. Toomey, R-Pa., who signed off on Monday’s report. Bharat Ramamurti, a former aide to Senate Banking member Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is also a member of the commission.
