WASHINGTON — The Republican-controlled Senate, brushing aside concerns from Democrats and a government-ethics watchdog, is moving quickly this week to help install Trump administration officials, scheduling multiple confirmation hearings on a single day on which the chamber also will begin voting on a step toward repealing much of the Affordable Care Act.
