Sen. Markwayne Mullin is appearing before the Senate Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee for a confirmation hearing, which Sen. Rand Paul chairs.
President Trump's director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, announced his immediate resignation Tuesday, citing the administration's decision to intervene in Iran.
Sen. Rand Paul's questioning of Sen. Markwayne Mullin got personal during the Oklahoma senator's confirmation hearing to become the next Homeland Security secretary. Paul criticized Mullin for "sheer lack of any kind of self-awareness" and slammed him for past comments he made about a 2017 attack where Paul was seriously injured. Mullin accused Paul of "character assassination" against him.
