P.M. Edition for Jan. 14. Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for defense secretary, faced questions over his past behavior and qualifications to lead the Pentagon. WSJ national security reporter Nancy Youssef gives us her read of the room, and what the hearing signals about Trump’s other cabinet picks. And in his first days in office, Trump plans to sign executive orders that would boost the U.S. fossil fuel industry. Plus, though the labor market appears strong, power is shifting from employees to employers. WSJ economics reporter Konrad Putzier tells us the more subtle ways that companies are flexing that power today. Alex Ossola hosts. Sign up for the WSJ's free What's News newsletter.
