This is odd. Trump was asked why he hasn’t nominated a defense secretary. “Well I have, defense secretary. I have. It’s done. I put it out. Yeah, it’s done from the standpoint of the nomination. Wait wait wait, Pat Shanahan was nominated two weeks ago.”

Trump announced his intention to nominate Shanahan on May 9, but the White House still hasn’t officially nominated him.
