Law’s Avidan Cover says Trump pastor’s unofficial diplomacy raises questions about authority abroad
Post and Courier: Avi Cover, professor of law and director of the Institute for Global Security Law and Policy at the Frederick K. Cox International Law Center at the School of Law, said a South Carolina pastor's unofficial diplomacy is “very murky,” noting Biden-era rules allow limited diplomatic appointments without Senate confirmation if Congress is notified. But no record exists of his role, raising questions about his authority as he represents the U.S. abroad while facing lawsuits at home.
