Trump’s pick for attorney-general faces Senate hearing later today – US politics live

Trump's former personal defense lawyer is set to face a potentially contentious Senate nomination hearing for attorney-general. This comes amid growing calls to remove US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from the streets following the fatal shootings of two men who were not the intended targets.

This hearing could signal a major shift in how the administration approaches both legal appointments and enforcement policies.
