Bolton has been mentioned as a possible No. 2 State Department official.<\/div>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Trump is due to succeed Democratic President Barack Obama on Jan. 20.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Washington and Moscow are at odds over a range of issues that include Syria, Ukraine and NATO&#8217;s presence in eastern Europe.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Tillerson won fresh praise from Moscow, as Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the Exxon chief &#8220;carries out his duties in a highly professional way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In 2013, Putin bestowed a Russian state honour, the Order of Friendship, upon Tillerson, citing his work &#8220;strengthening cooperation in the energy sector.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Concern in Congress intensified on Monday over U.S. intelligence agency findings that Russia attempted to undermine Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton&#8217;s election prospects by hacking computers of Democratic Party organizations and officials, leading to the publication of private emails.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_78923\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-78923\" style=\"width: 678px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arabtelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/download-427.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-78923\" src=\"https:\/\/www.arabtelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/download-427-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton arrives for a meeting with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump at Trump Tower in New York, U.S \" width=\"678\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.arabtelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/download-427-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.arabtelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/download-427.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-78923\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton arrives for a meeting with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump at Trump Tower in New York, U.S<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan, a Republican, said in a statement that any Russian intervention into the U.S. elections is &#8220;especially problematic&#8221; and expressed support for a House investigation. But he added that any Russian intrusion should not cast doubt on what he said was a &#8220;decisive&#8221; outcome of the Nov. 8 presidential election won by Trump.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Representative Adam Schiff, the senior Democrat on the House intelligence panel, called for a joint House-Senate inquiry.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Also on Monday, Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell condemned cyber attacks by foreign entities and said, &#8220;The Russians are not our friends.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In New York, former Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina, who reportedly is under consideration to be Trump&#8217;s director of national intelligence, met with the president-elect.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The former Hewlett-Packard chief executive told reporters after the meeting, &#8220;We talked about hacking, whether it\u2019s Chinese hacking or purported Russian hacking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In television interviews, Trump&#8217;s senior adviser Kellyanne Conway said Tillerson is a &#8220;leading candidate&#8221; for the top diplomat job and a decision may come this week. During a news conference, McConnell said he was optimistic Trump&#8217;s nominees would be confirmed by the Senate, but he declined to comment on any future nominees such as Tillerson.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">McConnell called all of Trump&#8217;s choices so far &#8220;pretty impressive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>&#8216;THOROUGH HEARING&#8217;<span id=\"midArticle_byline\"><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Senator Charles Schumer, the incoming Senate Democratic leader, told CBS &#8220;This Morning&#8221; that &#8220;The bottom line is, every one of these nominees, particularly a guy like Tillerson, needs a thorough, thorough hearing.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;Talks about his closeness with Putin will come forward,&#8221; Schumer said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">During Trump&#8217;s presidential campaign, Democrats and longtime government officials voiced alarm when Trump repeatedly praised Putin, suggesting they would &#8220;get along very well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">On Sunday, Senator John McCain, a Republican who lost the 2008 presidential race to Obama, said of Tillerson: &#8220;It\u2019s a matter of concern to me that he has such a close personal relationship with Vladimir Putin and obviously they\u2019ve done enormous deals together. That would colour his approach to Vladimir Putin and the Russian threat.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">McCain, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, added that Tillerson would get a fair confirmation hearing.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>CONCERNS ABOUT BOLTON<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Bolton also has raised bipartisan concern. On Sunday, Republican Senator Rand Paul said he would work to stop Bolton from being confirmed to any Trump administration post.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;His worldview is naive,&#8221; Paul said on ABC\u2019s \u201cThis Week.\u201d\u00a0&#8220;He still believes in regime change. He&#8217;s still a big cheerleader for\u00a0the Iraq war. He&#8217;s promoted a nuclear attack by Israel on\u00a0Iran. He wants to do regime change in Iran.&#8221;<span id=\"midArticle_byline\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In 2005, then-President George W. Bush installed Bolton as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in a temporary, &#8220;recess appointment&#8221; that sidestepped U.S. Senate confirmation. He took that step after Democrats used procedural rules in place at the time to block the nomination.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bolton left the job at the end of 2006 when the temporary appointment was ending.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Since then, Senate rules have changed, making it harder for a minority of senators to stop judicial and executive branch nominations. Republicans will hold a 52-48 majority in the Senate session that begins on Jan. 3.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contenders for President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s two top diplomatic roles, Rex Tillerson and John Bolton, will face a tough review in confirmation hearings in a U.S. Senate led by Trump&#8217;s fellow Republicans, as support grew in Congress on Monday for a full review of possible Russian meddling in America&#8217;s elections.
