"Kathleen Sgamma withdrew her nomination to lead the Bureau of Land Management."

"President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Bureau of Land Management has withdrawn from consideration.

Kathleen Sgamma, the head of an oil industry trade group, did not appear before the Senate on Thursday for her scheduled confirmation hearing.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), the head of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said he was informed by the White House this morning that Sgamma had withdrawn her nomination without offering additional details.

The sudden withdrawal comes after reporting earlier this week that Sgamma privately wrote that she had been “disgusted” by Trump “spreading misinformation” on Jan. 6, 2021. She withdrew her confirmation due to revelations about that post, said a person familiar with the move who was granted anonymity to discuss personnel matters."
