As Senate confirmation hearings begin, here's the latest on who in the Trump administration has, will or doesn't need to be approved.

President-elect Donald Trump's nominees for top posts in his administration are gearing up for their Senate confirmation hearings, which kick off this week.

Senate hearings are scheduled this coming week for several of Trump’s picks for the Cabinet. Many have met with senators individually. Now, they will go before the committees overseeing the agencies that Trump wants them to run. Here’s a look at the schedule for Senate hearings set so far, in Eastern time:

President-elect Donald Trump has picked former Georgia congressman Doug Collins to lead the Veterans Affairs Department in his new administration.

Pete Hegseth, Doug Burgum and Doug Collins are among the nominees set to appear before senators beginning Tuesday.

His work has earned numerous honors, including a 2009 Polk award, a 2010 National Headliner Award, the IAVA Leadership in Journalism award and the VFW News Media award.

Some are expected to have smooth confirmation paths, like Sen. Marco Rubio for secretary of state, while others, like defense secretary pick Pete Hegseth, face headwinds.

President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet picks will undergo Senate confirmation hearings this week, starting on January 14.
