Republican senators signal opposition to Trump's Cabinet nominees lacking FBI background checks

On MSNBC's "Morning Joe," panelists discussed Republican senators' potential opposition to Donald Trump's Cabinet nominees who have not undergone FBI background checks. Trump's team has not completed necessary paperwork for these checks, preferring private investigations instead. Democratic senators have rejected this approach, and some Republicans, including Lisa Murkowski, have expressed concerns. The situation raises questions about Trump's nominees, with speculation that he may avoid FBI checks due to potential issues in their backgrounds. GOP senators have already blocked attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz, and there are indications that others, like Bill Cassidy and Todd Young, may also oppose nominees Tulsi Gabbard and Pete Hegseth if they lack proper vetting.
