Puzder's nomination has been stalled in Congress after a series of delayed hearings from the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. Puzder, the head of the parent company that owns fast food companies Hardee's and Carl's Jr., said he and his wife have already paid back taxes on the employee. "When I learned of her status, we immediately ended her employment and offered her assistance in getting legal status." He added: "We have fully paid back taxes to the IRS and the state of California and submitted all required paperwork."
