The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee delayed yet again a hearing for President Trump’s nominee to head the Labor Department, fast-food businessman Andy Puzder.

The hearing, which had been set for Feb. 7, was abruptly called off Tuesday and a new date has not been set, a source with knowledge of the situation who requested anonymity told the Washington Examiner. The source said the delay was not at Puzder’s request. The committee has not confirmed the delay.
