“The president’s objective is what any president’s objective is, was to ensure you have nominees and people serving on these boards who are qualified to serve on them and who are aligned with your values,” Psaki said.

“For 22 years I have had the honor of serving alongside some of the most talented, patriotic and brave individuals this country has to offer.
