Thursday marked another busy day of hearings for President-elect Trump’s Cabinet nominees as his inauguration approaches.
The day featured Lee Zeldin, the nominee to run the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); Eric Turner, Trump’s pick for Housing and Urban Development secretary; Doug Burgum, his pick for Interior secretary; and Scott Bessent, in line to lead the Treasury Department. All three are expected to be confirmed, but they faced tough questions from Democrats.
Also on Capitol Hill today, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is expected to select a new chair for the House Intelligence Committee after he removed Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio) from the position.
The ouster drew the ire of some Republicans and Democratic leaders.
