Story highlights Sessions' confirmation hearing is set for January 10

Liberal groups want to delay it, citing an incomplete questionnaire

Washington (CNN) Liberal groups are calling for a delay in Sen. Jeff Sessions' confirmation hearings for the post of attorney general, citing gaps in his record that the Alabama Republican didn't address in a questionnaire sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Sessions, like other nominees of President-elect Donald Trump, is on course for a committee vote before Trump is inaugurated on January 20.

But three liberal groups -- the National Council of Asian Pacific Americans, People For the American Way and Alliance for Justice -- say his January 10 confirmation hearing should be delayed.

The groups say Sessions failed to provide media interviews, speeches, op-eds and more from his time as US attorney in Alabama, the state's attorney general and from his first term as senator, from 1997 through 2002.
