.
Spivey emphasized that DHS had been willing to make Wolf's deputy Ken Cuccinelli available to testify, which she said should have been sufficient since he's fully versed in the same subjects as Wolf. "The Committee has not only the authority, but also an obligation to execute its Constitutional oversight responsibilities regarding Mr. Wolf’s decisions and the Department’s actions in securing the homeland," Thompson said.is the culmination of a series of exchanges between Thompson and DHS that began in June.
"Moreover, while the relied upon practice may be reasonable in circumstances where the nominee has only served in an 'acting' capacity for a short period of time, that is not your situation. The Department has been without a Senate-confirmed Secretary for 17 months," Thompson added.
