Nobody in this administration actually works

President Donald Trump’s nominee to be ambassador to the United Nations, Kelly Craft, spent the equivalent of seven months of her 20-month tenure as U.S. ambassador to Canada back in the United States in places where she had homes, according to findings by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s Democratic staff.

The minority staff’s findings are drawn from previously undisclosed documents provided by the State Department and Craft to the full committee following a June 19 hearing.


During the hearing, Craft came under fire for her frequent absences from the embassy in Ottawa, after POLITICO obtained Federal Aviation Administration records showing her family plane had made the equivalent of weekly roundtrips to the United States.
