On her account, White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Wednesday afternoon affirmed the request had been made.

"The President's objective is what any president's objective is -- 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. And so yes, that was an ask that was made," Psaki said at a White House briefing.

Other notable names include retired Col. Douglas Macgregor, a former ambassador pick and Pentagon official, and Heidi Stirrup, the former White House liaison to the Justice Department.
