California authorities are investigating hit-and-run traffic incidents involving U.S. Commerce Secretary John Bryson. Numerous media outlets have the story, including the Los Angeles Times.
The Commerce Department, of course, houses the National Marine Fisheries Service.
Wesley, please investigate and give your impression of who would be in line to be Acting Secretary of Commerce if Bryson were to step down until the felony investigation were complete. Before Bryson was Acting Secretary Rebecca Blank. Is she still in line? What would be the implications for pending Council selections?
