The US president lashed out at Senate Democrats for the failure to confirm all the executive Cabinet nominees.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — It is pathetic that Senate Democrats have failed to confirm all of the executive Cabinet nominees, US President Donald Trump said on Friday.

Two of Trump’s nominees, Labor Secretary pick Alexander Acosta and would-be Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, have not had confirmation hearings.

Additionally, no hearings are scheduled for Trade Representative nominee Robert Lighthizer or Director of National Intelligence nominee Dan Coats.

Scheduling the hearings is the responsibility of Senate Republicans.

As of Friday, the Senate has not rejected any of Trump's nominees.
