Senate lawmakers are set to question Dr. Heidi Overton on Thursday as she seeks confirmation to head the Food and Drug Administration, with her plans for vaccines, abortion medication, and other newly scrutinized products expected to take center stage.
A physician and top White House adviser, Overton has spent much of her career working for Trump or conservative groups aligned with his agenda. Those political connections are likely to prompt questions from members of the Senate health committee considering her nomination.
