The Senate Commerce Committee on Tuesday evening announced it has postponed the confirmation hearing for President-elect Trump’s Commerce secretary nominee, Wilbur Ross, to Jan. 18.

Ross had been scheduled to appear before the Senate committee Thursday, but it was pushed back six days because Ross did not submit a disclosure form to the Office of Government Ethics in time, according to a joint statement by Chairman John Thune, R-S.D., and ranking Democrat Bill Nelson, D-Fla.
