Kathleen Sgamma, nominated by Trump to lead the Bureau of Land Management, has withdrawn her candidacy after her 2021 criticism of Trump for inciting the Jan. 6 Capitol attack came to light. Her comments, which described Trump's role in the riot as 'disgusting,' led to accusations of a loyalty test within the Trump administration. Critics argue her withdrawal highlights the expectation of blind loyalty in Trump's selections, suggesting that recognizing the seriousness of the Capitol violence is no longer acceptable in his circle. Mike Lee, Chair of the Senate Energy Committee, confirmed Sgamma's withdrawal during the hearing, stating the search for a new nominee would begin.
