WATCH LIVE: Trump’s pick for surgeon general appears for confirmation hearing

Dr. Nicole Saphier, President Donald Trump's third nominee for U.S. surgeon general, is testifying before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee on Wednesday morning. Saphier, a media personality and supporter of the Make America Healthy Again movement, is a close ally of Health and Human Services. This confirmation hearing represents the latest attempt to fill the role of the nation's doctor after two previous nominees failed to receive the necessary Senate support for the position.
