npr.org —
Several of Donald Trump's cabinet nominees have been accused of sexual misconduct. Notable figures include Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth and HHS Secretary nominee Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. All have denied the allegations or claimed no memory of the incidents. These nominations highlight a shift in the political landscape regarding accountability for such accusations. Trump's previous presidency was influential in the rise of the #MeToo movement, raising questions about its current impact. The cabinet picks reflect a trend of selecting individuals loyal to Trump, often with media experience but lacking relevant qualifications for their roles.
