WASHINGTON (AP) – Top Democrat (D-NY) says Democrats will hold ‘s Cabinet nominees to the same standards that Senate Majority Leader demanded of President Barack Obama’s picks eight years ago.

Schumer says that means Democrats won’t allow immediate Senate votes unless Trump’s choices pass FBI background checks, clear an ethics review, and submit a detailed financial disclosure statement. Those were demands made eight years ago by McConnell, a Kentucky Republican — who is now accusing Democrats of making “little procedural complaints.”
