Howard Lutnick, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to run the Commerce Department, is the latest cabinet contender to have his confirmation hearing held up by paperwork delays.
“It will be soon,” said Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), the chair of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, in a brief interview. “We’re waiting for the paperwork to be completed.”
Cruz, whose panel has oversight over the Commerce Department and will be handling Lutnick’s confirmation process, has yet to schedule his hearing.
