^{Published in Politics and Government on Wednesday, January 15th 2025 at 9:00 GMT by CNN}

Sen. Marco Rubio and Pam Bondi face questions from senators in their respective confirmation hearings on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. Follow for live news updates.

The content at the provided URL from CNN, dated January 15, 2025, focuses on the confirmation hearings for President Donald Trump's Cabinet nominees. Key points include the Senate's scrutiny of various nominees for their qualifications, past actions, and potential conflicts of interest. Notable discussions revolved around the nominees for Secretary of State, Attorney General, and Secretary of Defense, with senators questioning their policies on international relations, law enforcement, and military strategy. There was particular attention on how these nominees would handle ongoing issues like climate change, immigration, and national security. Additionally, the hearings highlighted the political atmosphere, with Democrats expressing concerns over nominees' independence from Trump's influence, while Republicans emphasized the need for swift confirmations to ensure a functioning government. The process was marked by both bipartisan support for some nominees and contentious debates over others, reflecting the broader political divide.
