cbsnews.com

Nikki Haley criticized President-elect Donald Trump's selections of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Health and Human Services and Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence. She questioned Kennedy's lack of healthcare experience and labeled him a "liberal Democrat." Haley also condemned Gabbard for her past comments on Syria, claiming they reflect Russian propaganda. She described Gabbard's 2017 meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as "disgusting" and inappropriate for the intelligence role. Additionally, former Rep. Matt Gaetz withdrew from consideration for attorney general amid an ethics investigation. The Senate will review the nominations once they are formalized by Trump.
