(CNN) Former Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake said Sunday he has been in touch with the Biden administration when asked about recent reporting that the administration is considering him for an ambassadorship, but said there have been "no specific talks." "All I've said is I would have an interest in making sure that President (Joe) Biden's foreign policy is bipartisan," Flake, a CNN political commentator, told CNN's Pamela Brown on "Newsroom." Axios reported last week that Biden administration officials are weighing nominating prominent Republicans to ambassadorships, including Cindy McCain -- the widow of the late Arizona Sen. John McCain -- and Flake to highlight bipartisanship in foreign policy. Pressed by Brown again on the topic, Flake said, "I certainly have an interest in, like I said, making sure that our foreign policy is bipartisan. But we'll leave that to the Biden administration to make those decisions."
