Senate to hold hearings on Trump picks as he prepares to take office
The Senate will hold confirmation hearings this week
on many of Trump's Cabinet picks,
including Pete #Hegseth for defense secretary,
Pam #Bondi for attorney general
and Marco #Rubio for Secretary of State. Pam Bondi, the former Florida attorney general,
was Donald Trump’s Plan B after his initial pick of former congressman Matt Gaetz (R-Florida) for attorney general flamed out.
While Bondi has gotten a less frosty reception in the Senate than Gaetz did,
she is still likely to face tough questions about Trump’s campaign promises to seek retribution against his political opponents.
Her hearing will span two days to accommodate what will likely be extensive questioning.
