Senate pushes confirmation hearing for Mike Pompeo to serve as CIA director back one day, @mikedebonis reports:

Senators have postponed the confirmation hearing for Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.) to serve as CIA director by a day, according to Senate aides.

Pompeo will now meet with the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday, moving him back from Wednesday, a day that was initially set to be packed with five simultaneous confirmation hearings.

Reasons for the delay weren’t known for certain early Tuesday, but Democratic aides said that pressure by Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) to stretch out the dates a bit more appeared to be working...

That leaves just three hearings now in Wednesday — for Rex Tillerson to serve as Secretary of State, Elaine Chao to serve as transportation secretary and the second day of hearings to consider Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) as attorney general.
