Senator Hagerty downplays need for FBI background checks on Trump's nominees

Some nominees for President-elect Donald Trump's second administration are facing controversy. While mainstream picks like Sen. Marco Rubio are expected to gain bipartisan support, others, such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, have drawn criticism. Critics are calling for FBI background checks for Trump's nominees. However, Republican Senator Bill Hagerty dismissed this need during a recent interview, stating that the public is more focused on fulfilling the mandate they voted for. Hagerty emphasized the importance of strengthening the military over background checks. He noted that he has personally experienced the vetting process but believes the public prioritizes action over checks.
