Brian Quintenz X Post:
“I believe these texts make it clear what they were after from me, and what I refused to promise. It’s my understanding that after this exchange they contacted the President and asked that my confirmation be paused for reasons other than what is reflected in these texts.
I believe transparency and integrity are paramount. Protecting the President and his agenda are more important than any job.”
I am proud to have consistently supported President Trump since 2016, having served in his first administration and on the transition team for his second administration, and through my recent nomination process and confirmation hearing testimony in front of the U.S. Senate. I look forward to continuing to support his agenda in whatever capacity I can.”
