President Donald Trump’s Department of Energy nominees for undersecretary of science and general counsel were among those winning confirmation in a 51-to-47 Senate floor vote last week.
Dario Gil, the White House nominee for DOE undersecretary of science, and Jonathan Brightbill, the general council nominee, were both among those winning confirmation Sept. 18.
Gil had been reported out of committee in May as did Brightbill. They were among 48 nominees approved en banc last week.
