Elise Stefanik to face senators at confirmation hearing for U.N. ambassador today
CBSN
Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik will face senators' questions on Tuesday as she defends her record and qualifications to become the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
Stefanik, one of President Trump's most reliable allies in Congress, goes before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations for her confirmation hearing less than 24 hours after Mr. Trump was sworn into office. Mr. Trump hopes his key Cabinet picks will sail through confirmation and take their posts once he's president on Jan. 20. Stefanik is likely to be confirmed when the full Senate takes up a vote.
