Confirmation hearing for Doug Collins as VA Secretary postponed due to incomplete FBI background check.

The confirmation hearing for Doug Collins, President Trump's nominee for Veterans Affairs Secretary, has been postponed to January 21 due to an incomplete FBI background check. Senator Jerry Moran stated that Collins has been transparent with the committee but that the FBI check was not yet completed. This delay follows a similar postponement for Doug Burgum, nominee for Interior Secretary, due to vetting delays. The hearings' postponements have drawn criticism from Democrats for scheduling before necessary paperwork was received.
