Democratic leaders in the Senate promise a tooth-and-nail battle with Republicans over President-elect Donald Trump's nominees to a slew of senior cabinet positions. They're calling for extensive financial reports, including tax returns, and demanding lengthy hearings with panels of witnesses and copious amounts of time for questions. They have also asked to limit the number of confirmation hearings that can be held in a single week.

Republicans, for their part, are envisioning an accelerated series of hearings and votes to have many of Trump's picks installed by the time he is inaugurated or shortly after that.

In a statement on Sunday, incoming Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said he planned to do everything in his power to slam on the brakes. "President-elect Trump is attempting to fill his rigged cabinet with nominees that would break key campaign promises and have made billions off the industries they'd be tasked with regulating."
