Confirmation hearings for Trump’s cabinet picks are in full swing on Capitol Hill with a number of them appearing before the Senate this week.

Nominees including Pam Bondi, Trump’s pick to run the Justice Department, John Ratcliffe, his pick to run the CIA, and Florida Senator Marco Rubio Trump’s nominee for Secretary of State have all answered questions about what they’ll do and what they won’t do if confirmed.

Rubio and Ratcliffe will play key foreign policy roles under the 47th president.
