Sen. Tuberville said this week he would place a hold on all military nominations to protest the Biden administration's new rule on abortion travel for service members.
Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville warned the proposed changes to Title IX would decrease funding for, and participation in, women's sports.
"As I've stated, if Secretary Austin wants to change law, he should go through Congress. This is an illegal expansion of DoD authority and gross misuse of taxpayer dollars – and I will hold him accountable. The American people want a military focused on national defense, not facilitating a progressive political agenda," he added.
There are six defense-related nominees in the queue that will be affected by Sen. Tommy Tuberville's hold, and that number is likely to grow.
