2:13:26Now PlayingFormer Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-Ore.), President Trump’s nominee to head the Labor Department, will testify before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Wednesday morning.
The confirmation hearing comes as the Trump administration has been under scrutiny for access to information from various agencies given to Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — an advisory panel looking to cut down on government spending. The Labor Department is not immune after a judge refused to block DOGE from accessing its systems earlier this month, after a labor union lawsuit failed to provide enough evidence against it.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who sits on the committee, has already signaled he would vote against Chavez-DeRemer, citing her seemingly pro-labor union views.
The hearing is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EST.
