Obama Aide Testifies for Ambassador to Russia Position The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is likely to support Michael McFaul's nomination to be ambassador to Russia. The committee held a hearing on McFaul, and the lawmakers in attendance did not object to his nomination but asked questions about Russia's military strategy, economy and relationship with the U.S. McFaul is not a diplomat but a close aide to President Obama and was instrumental in formulating the idea of “resetting” U.S. -Russian relations at the beginning of Obama’s term, according to the Washington Post. www.c-span.org/Events/Obama-Aide-Testifies-for-Ambassador-to-Russia-Position/10737424720/
