WASHINGTON - U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) announced Dec. 5 that he is dropping the bulk of his months-long hold on hundreds of military nominations.
Tuberville told reporters that he has lifted his hold on all military promotions three-star and below, amounting to over 400 promotions.
“I’m releasing everybody. I still got a hold on I think 11 four-star generals. Everybody else is completely released from me.” Tuberville told reporters. “But other than that, it’s over.”
The Alabama Republican had been holding up military nominations for months in protest of the Defense Department's policy that allows servicemembers to get reimbursements for travel related to getting an abortion.
