Rita Baranwal has been nominated for the post of assistant secretary of Energy (Nuclear Energy), Aditya Bamzai for Member of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board and Bimal Patel as the assistant secretary of Treasury.

The intent to nominate Baranwal, Bamzai and Patel was announced by Trump earlier, but the nomination was sent Wednesday to the Senate.
