Yes. In committee. But, with a proviso that he would not do so on the floor unless there were an investigation by the FBI into current credible allegations that would take no more than one week. Something made him make his “Aye” vote on the floor conditional. It was something the Democrats, through Coon, laid out for him, not the street theater in the lift. And, it was not idle chit chat. The guy is leaving government and doesn’t need votes or approval.
