GOP senator says Americans indifferent to background checks for Trump's cabinet picks

Senator Bill Hagerty stated that Americans are not concerned about the background checks for Donald Trump's cabinet picks, which typically occur before Senate confirmation hearings. Trump's transition team has not completed the necessary documents for these checks. Several of Trump's cabinet nominees have faced scrutiny over their backgrounds, including allegations of sexual misconduct. Some Republican senators have expressed support for the standard FBI background checks in light of these concerns. Democrats have introduced a bill to formalize the FBI's role in background checks for cabinet officials. The bill would also require Congress to be informed if the president overrides the FBI's recommendations regarding access to classified information.
