Democrats on the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources are seeking to postpone the confirmation hearing of Doug Burgum, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Department of the Interior. The top Democrat on the committee, Sen. Martin Heinrich, along with his colleagues, have requested a one-week delay for the hearing, citing the lack of essential documents, including Burgum's financial disclosures.
Despite the Democrats' request, Chair Mike Lee has the authority to set the hearing date unilaterally. As of now, the hearing is scheduled for tomorrow morning.
