"This is a very important ambassadorship," says UVA political science professor Larry Sabato, "and the confirmation hearing would be covered in any event, but this year they'll probably have to get one of the largest hearing rooms because the senators will use this as an opportunity to ask loaded questions about the Trump-Russia relationship.

Cohen Distinguished Professor of Law and Taxation) Throughout the extremely disturbing first few months of the Trump administration, when the president’s views appear to turn on a dime, one important constant has been his refusal to release his tax returns.
