Lawmakers will grill the 44-year-old Hegseth, who isĀ expected to still have the requisite votes for confirmation, and Bondi, 59, before the Armed Services and Judiciary Committees, respectively, starting Jan. 14.
āIām enthused with her work as Attorney General of Florida and what sheās done as a prosecutor,ā Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) told Fox Business Network Friday of Bondi. …
āThereās one thing that can speed up her nomination, and that is if the transition team that weāre working with of the new Trump administration would get the background investigations and the other paper ā particularly the ethics reports that we ought to have,ā Grassley added.
āWe donāt have any of that paper yet. I want to get it so I can schedule her hearing for the 14th.ā
Hegsethās hearing will also be held that day, an Armed Services Committee rep confirmed.
Republicans can only lose four votes from their own conference before a nomination is in peril, given their 53-47 majority in the Senate. …
Hegseth is likely to be the toughest of the Trump picks to be confirmed, though sources previously told The Post that āzeroā Republicans are knives out for the former Fox News personality in private ā despite several expressing reservationsĀ publicly.
Trump, 78, hasĀ stood by HegsethĀ despite concerns about his past alleged personal and professional misconduct ā including his tenure atĀ two veterans advocacy groupsĀ where he was accused of mismanaging finances and binge drinking on the job.
Several former senior employees ā including a trustee of one of the groups, Concerned Veterans for America ā categorically denied the allegations, which were put forward by anonymous whistleblowers, and threw cold water on claims that Hegseth was forced out of his position due to appalling conduct. …
Bondi, who served two terms as Floridaās attorney general from 2011 to 2019, is likely a shoo-in for her position, with one GOP aide referencing her āimpressive credentialsā and noting she was āsignificantly qualified for this role.ā …
After Bondi, Grassley anticipated that FBI Director-designate Kash Patel, who has received a warm welcome from Senate Republicans, will be the next nomination to come before the Judiciary Committee.
Grassley said he looked āvery favorablyā on the 44-year-old FBI boss-in-waiting ā and expects Patel will be confirmed following Bondi. …
Agriculture Secretary nominee Brooke Rollins is also readying herself for a confirmation hearing to take place Jan. 15,Ā Politico reported Monday, adding that formerĀ New York Rep. Lee Zeldinās nomination to helm the Environmental Protection Agency will be considered sometime next week by the Senateās Environment and Public Works panel. …
