Trump's Controversial Cabinet Picks Face Scrutiny

President-elect Trump's nominations for key positions raise concerns over past allegations and lack of qualifications.

Pete Hegseth, nominated for Secretary of Defense, is under fire for a past sexual assault allegation that he settled privately.
Matt Gaetz, Trump's pick for Attorney General, faces significant resistance due to ongoing sexual misconduct allegations.
Trump's approach to cabinet appointments bypasses traditional FBI vetting, opting instead for private companies to conduct background checks.
Critics argue that Trump's nominations, including RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, are unqualified and undermine the institutions they are meant to lead.
The Senate's response to these nominations will be an early test of loyalty among GOP lawmakers, with many expressing concerns over the candidates' pasts.
