Trump renominates FCC Chairman Pai to another term

President Donald Trump has renominated Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai to another term at the agency. The White House was hoping to move renomination papers to the Senate ahead of Chairman Pai's appearance before a Senate Commerce Committee hearing March 8. He's been renominated for a five-year term beginning July 1, 2016, when his previous term formally expired. (Commissioners are able to stay on at the agency a year after their term expires.)
