The road to confirmation as defense secretary was initially thought to be a smooth one for Shanahan, a former Boeing executive. He had a relatively difficult time being confirmed as deputy because Democrats on the Armed Services Committee and its former chairman, the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest.

Has to be a conflict of interest. Former Boeing exec, so likely has significant Boeing holdings.

Fox News reporting that Shanahan was accused of domestic violence by his ex wife 9 years ago.

Please explain to me how they were supposed to know about this when it is only coming out now?

You do realize he has been in govt for years and years. It never came up then.

It's called an FBI background check. Why did they do such a soft vet for his deputy position?

It just shows how a loose attitude about processes can yield bad results.
