A U.S. Senate committee’s hearing on South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem’s nomination to lead the Department of Homeland Security has been postponed.

The hearing was scheduled for Wednesday. It’s now postponed to 9 a.m. Eastern time on Friday. The hearing will be conducted by the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

Politico cited a “person familiar with the process” who told the online political news website that Noem has completed her FBI background paperwork, but the FBI had not yet completed its portion of the paperwork.

A similar delay has occurred for former North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, whose hearing on his nomination to serve as secretary of the Interior Department was postponed this week from Tuesday to Thursday. Utah Sen. Mike Lee, chairman of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, blamed the Office of Government Ethics for a “bureaucratic delay” in its review of Burgum’s paperwork.
