Schumer directs Dems to put pressure on Trump nominees ahead of confirmation hearings
Democrats believe hearings are an opportunity to dig into Trump nominees' backgrounds

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., instructed his caucus not to hold back when it comes to confirmation hearings beginning this week for some of President-elect Trump's nominees for top roles.

During last week's caucus lunch, Schumer said these hearings will be an opportunity for them to grill Trump's choices and ask them questions about the incoming president's agenda, a Senate Democratic source told Fox News Digital.

In particular, the Democratic leader told his party that they should press nominees on how they specifically will help carry out some of the items Trump pledged to do during the campaign, the source said.

I don't think that this is going to work out like Schumer thinks it will.

Here's an example of putting pressure by Schumer.  He should have been placed in jail
