Senators question Trump's picks for top health positions, including surgeon general

The Senate Committee on Health is holding confirmation hearings on Wednesday for three top health official nominees, including the surgeon general. President Donald Trump has nominated Dr. Nicole Saphier, a radiologist and former Fox News contributor, to fill the surgeon general role. This hearing marks the administration's third attempt to appoint a candidate to the position, which is widely recognized as the nation's doctor.

Lawmakers are currently questioning the nominees as part of the confirmation process. The proceedings represent a significant effort by the administration to secure leadership for key health positions within the federal government.
