White House to withdraw Isaacman nomination to lead NASA


The White House is withdrawing the nomination of Jared Isaacman to be administrator of NASA, throwing an agency already reeling from proposed massive budget cuts into further disarray.


In a statement to SpaceNews May 31, White House spokesperson Liz Huston said that the administration is looking for a new person to lead the agency. The statement came after a report earlier in the day by Semafor that the White House would withdraw the nomination. The statement did not disclose why the White House was seeking a new nominee, and Huston did not immediately respond to questions about the decision.
