It’s a big day for three of President Trump’s most controversial cabinet nominees. After a contentious hearing before the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday, Health and Human Services nominee RFK Jr. faces the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions on Thursday. Trump’s loyalist FBI pick, Kash Patel, who has vowed to prosecute the president’s enemies, is taking questions from the House Judiciary Committee. And Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s pick to be the Director of National Intelligence, is being grilled by the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Follow along below for live updates from all three hearings.
