Washington (CNN) Rex Tillerson faces a grilling Wednesday at his Senate confirmation hearing to be secretary of state that comes after CNN reported that Russia may have compromising information about President-elect Donald Trump. "We must also be clear-eyed about our relationship with Russia," Tillerson is expected to tell senators. Lawmakers on both sides will look to see whether Tillerson will balance out foreign policy positions that Trump has taken and that many on Capitol Hill see as extreme. Handing Tillerson "the keys of US foreign policy is a recipe for disaster," Murphy said. "We'll want to know how will he square these views with the foreign policy he'll be asked to carry out for President Trump."
