Trump faces staffing delays amid slow nominations
President Trump laments Senate delays on his appointments while staffing remains far behind historic norms.

The report notes vacancies across agencies including the FBI, CDC, HHS preparedness, and senior diplomatic posts, underscoring constitutional bottlenecks and leadership gaps.
