President Biden's choice to head the Federal Communications Commission will face another nomination hearing amid controversy.

, will face another round of questioning after the Senate Commerce Committee pulled a vote for her nomination off the schedule for Wednesday, FOX Business has learned.

The Senate panel had planned a vote for Sohn's nomination on Wednesday, but the meeting has now been switched to a confirmation hearing where questioning is likely to focus on the latest details that have emerged about Sohn and her connection to a telecom non-profit, Locast.

Locast contended that the practice was legal because it was a non-profit, but in September, a judge disagreed and sided with the broadcasters that Sohn would be in charge of regulating if confirmed. Locast was forced to shut down.
