Some of their themes will echo persistent lines of attack by the Obama campaign during the tough primary battle.

His aides consistently urged Sen Clinton to provide full details of financial transactions which made the couple rich after they left the White House in debt - and separately helped turn the Clinton Foundation into one of the world's leading philanthropic organisations. Mr Obama's campaign manager David Plouffe once dubbed Mrs Clinton "one of the most secretive politicians in America today".

The Democrats' new strength in Congress means that in the absence of a political bombshell her confirmation should not be in doubt. But to satisfy the transparency rules laid down by the Obama transition team, Mr Clinton would first have to provide more information about his finances than he has previously supplied. The couple's wealth is in the band between $10m and $50m, according to her most recent Senate fianancial disclosure filings.

Such hearings would also be a reminder of the last team a Clinton faced a grilling by Congress - the impeachment proceedings against the then president over his affair with the White House intern, Monica Lewinsky.
