Here are the Trump Cabinet nominees who will appear in front of Congress this week

The Senate is set to begin its confirmation process on President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet nominees this week, as Congress prepares for the next presidential administration. 

Senate Republicans are hoping to get the nominees confirmed in the early days of Trump's administration, which begins next week on January 20. But some confirmations have been delayed while senators await the results of an FBI background check, including Trump's Veteran Affairs Secretary nominee Doug Collins. His hearing, which was scheduled for Tuesday, was pushed back by one week.

The nominees will begin in front of a Senate committee that oversees the position they have been nominated for, and then be confirmed in a chamber-wide floor vote when passed out of committee.

Here is a full list of the Cabinet nominees who are scheduled to appear in front of the Senate this week.
