After the initial crush of personnel announcements for President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration, now the nomination process officially begins.
Senate hearings are scheduled this week for several of Trump’s Cabinet picks. Many have met with senators individually. Now, they will go before the committees overseeing the agencies that Trump wants them to run.
Here’s a look at the schedule for Senate hearings set so far, in Eastern time:
Tuesday
9 a.m.: Doug Collins, Department of Veterans Affairs
9:30 a.m.: Pete Hegseth, Department of Defense. Some senators have questioned the former “Fox & Friends” weekend host and Army National Guard combat veteran’s fitness for the role amid allegations of excessive drinking and sexual misconduct.
