Confirmation hearings for the cabinet nominees of President-elect Donald Trump are underway on Capitol Hill, with several nominees testifying before the Senate this week.
Key figures under scrutiny include Pam Bondi, nominated to lead the Justice Department, John Ratcliffe, slated to head the CIA, and Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who is nominated for Secretary of State. Each nominee is fielding questions about their potential actions and policies if they secure confirmation.
Rubio and Ratcliffe are poised to take on critical foreign policy responsibilities in the administration of the 47th president.
These hearings not only spotlight individual candidates but also reveal the broader policy directions the Trump administration may pursue.
