VA secretary nominee’s hearing postponed indefinitely

Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson, President Trump’s nominee for VA secretary, was scheduled to answer lawmakers’ questions during his Senate confirmation hearing on Wednesday afternoon. But that hearing has been postponed so lawmakers can further vet his record. The postponenment comes, according to Fox News, "amid growing questions about nominee Dr. Ronny Jackson’s past conduct and ability to manage the agency."

Jackson is Trump’s pick to replace former VA Secretary David Shulkin, who was fired in March.
