Clayton's hearing earlier this month at times erupted into shouting, as Clayton insisted to several Democratic senators that he was not an election denier.

One of the aides said the Senate was also expected to begin voting during Zelensky's visit on a bill to impose sanctions on Russia that was championed by Graham.
