Republican lawmakers have privately signaled to the White House that President Donald Trump should not nominate Ken Cuccinelli as the head of United States Citizenship and Immigration Services -- or else he risks having another high-profile pick forced to withdraw, CNN has learned.
It was reported in late May that Trump was expected to tap the former Virginia attorney general for the Senate-confirmed role at the Department of Homeland Security after L. Francis Cissna resigned. But in recent weeks members of the President's party have been privately critical of the expected pick. People familiar with the discussions said they have made clear to the White House that Cuccinelli would face serious difficulty in being confirmed.
