By Jordain Carney - 03/13/18 11:25 AM EDT
Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) said on Tuesday that his panel is planning to hold a hearing next month for CIA Director Mike Pompeo's nomination to lead the State Department.
“I had a very good conversation with Director Pompeo this morning and look forward to meeting with him soon. As I shared with the president, the committee will consider his nomination as expeditiously as possible," Corker said in a statement.
Though the State Department shakeup has been rumored for months, President Trump's announcement early Tuesday morning appears to have taken Washington by surprise.
