Tuberville Hints at Dropping Some Holds on Military Nominees Soon
- Sen. Tuberville signals he may drop some of his holds on hundreds of military nominations "in the very near future"
- Unclear exactly how many or which specific nominees he will release from his holds
- Wants to get as many nominees through in the next week or so as possible
- Tuberville's holds have blocked at least 350 military nominees so far
- His holds are in protest of Defense Dept. policy allowing time off and reimbursements for service members seeking abortions
