- Country:
- United States
The U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee on Wednesday backed General John Hyten to be the second-highest ranking U.S. military official, a day after he denied sexual assault allegations against him.
The vote was 20-7 in favor of Hyten being the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Hyten must still be confirmed by the full Senate. A date for that vote has not been announced.
