- Jeremy Carl, the president's nominee for assistant secretary of state for international organizations, faced the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Thursday, with senators questioning him over inflammatory comments .
- A September 2025 CNN KFile investigation found Carl tried to delete thousands of social posts before his June nomination, citing incendiary comments and calls for violence, prompting defense from White House deputy press secretary Anna Kelly and State Department spokespeople.
- Committee members pointed to Carl's antisemitic remarks on The Christian Ghetto podcast and Holocaust minimization, plus his promotion of Great Replacement theory and victimhood claims at National Conservatism Conference 2024.
- Republican Sen. John Curtis, R-Utah, said he will not support Carl after Thursday's hearing, and the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations urged rejection on February 6.
