Senators could have a high-stakes double header on Jan. 14, with potential back-to-back hearings for Donald Trump's picks for Defense secretary and attorney general, two of the president-elect's most critical Cabinet nominees.
The Senate Armed Services Committee previously announced it would host Pete Hegseth that day, Trump's Pentagon pick whose nomination has been dogged by allegations of misconduct. And incoming Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley confirmed Monday he hopes to schedule attorney general pick Pam Bondi the same day.
That day — next Tuesday — will likely be the first possible day most Senate panel can hold hearings. The Senate is expected to vote tomorrow on a resolution setting up its committees, which typically have a one-week notice requirement for hearings.
