The Senate Armed Services Committee canceled a hearing scheduled for Thursday morning on the controversial nomination of Anthony Tata, a retired Army brigadier general and Fox News commentator, to be the Pentagon’s policy chief.
Committee Chairman James Inhofe said the panel didn’t have enough information to hold the hearing as scheduled, but some Senate Republicans who asked not to be identified said Tata doesn’t have enough support to get the post.
