Senate Democrats sent a letter Wednesday to Andy Puzder, President Donald Trump’s nominee for labor secretary, demanding that he detail his relationship with the private-equity firm that owns his fast-food company. It was just the latest missive from Democrats who say they’re tired of the delays to Puzder’s confirmation hearing. The committee overseeing his nomination is still waiting for his ethics paperwork explaining any conflicts of interest he may have ― two months after Trump nominated him. His restaurant chains have racked up a long list of workplace violations over the years, and as labor secretary, Puzder would be responsible for enforcing those very laws. Although she later retracted the claims, she went on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” in disguise to talk about domestic violence.
