Democrats have expressed concern over the delay and how thorough the report on Trump’s embattled defense secretary pick will be.

Defense Secretary-designate Pete Hegseth and Attorney General pick Pam Bondi will be the first two cabinet nominees of President-elect Donald Trump to sit for confirmation hearings by Senate committees next week.

Books by Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Department of Defense, detail a militantly conservative Christian's concerns for America's future.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is seeking answers to more than 70 questions, previewing Senate Democrats’ approach headed into Pete Hegseth’s confirmation hearing.

President-elect Donald Trump has reportedly been reassured by a top Republican that his controversial pick for Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, has enough backing from the GOP to be confirmed by the Senate.

Despite scandals involving a previous accusation of sexual assault and concerns about his conduct and leadership, Senate Majority Leader John Thune informed President-elect Donald Trump that Defense Secretary candidate Pete Hegseth would most likely receive Senate approval.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is pressing Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for defense secretary, to answer additional questions about his past actions and statements before next Tuesday’s confirmation hearing.

When asked for comment, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader John Thune said "two things we don't discuss publicly: Whip counts and private conversations with the president."

Ind., hit back at a Democrat's call for more documents on Pete Hegseth before his confirmation hearing, which is already scheduled for next week.

THE SENATE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE is scheduled to hold a hearing for Pete Hegseth, President-elect Trump’s choice for secretary of defense, on January 14. There are few positions as important as the one Hegseth seeks.

Iowa U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley told reporters that Trump’s cabinet picks align with who voters chose in the election, though Grassley did not publicly say how he plans to vote.

Democratic senators are growing increasingly aggravated with Donald Trump's transition team for being less than forthcoming with providing information and making one of the president-elect's more controversial Cabinet nominees available.
