Half a dozen nominees to serve in President-elect Trump’s administration are set to appear before Senate committees for confirmation hearings on Wednesday.
The list includes former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, Trump’s nominee for attorney general; Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), his pick for secretary of State; Russell Vought, whom Trump tapped to head the Office of Management and Budget; and John Ratcliffe, the nominee to lead the CIA.
