Jack Lew hopes one Republican can quell Republican senators' concerns about his record on Iran following a tense confirmation hearing.
President Joe Biden's pick to become the next United States ambassador to Israel is banking on one Republican to save his nomination following a tense confirmation hearing this week.Biden nominated Jack Lew, who served as the secretary of the treasury under former President Barack Obama, for the ambassadorship, a position that remains empty as Washington supports Israel amid its escalating conflict with Hamas.The Palestinian militant group attacked Israel on October 7 by land, air and sea.
Portman led a 2018 investigation into the Obama administration, which allegedly allowed Iran access to the U.S. financial system, despite sanctions. The investigation found that the administration misled Congress about the matter and was largely based on testimony from Lew, The Washington Post reported in 2018.
