Three Trump nominees face scandals and setbacks on tumultuous day

Three nominees from Donald Trump's administration faced significant scandals on Thursday. Matt Gaetz withdrew his nomination for attorney general amid new allegations of sexual misconduct involving a minor. He claimed his decision was to avoid distracting from the transition. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nominated for Health and Human Services, is under scrutiny for past comments comparing Trump to Hitler and calling his supporters derogatory names. He plans to seek Senate votes after Thanksgiving despite the backlash. Pete Hegseth, Trump's pick for the Department of Defense, is facing renewed attention due to a 2017 police report detailing sexual assault allegations. Although he denies the claims, the report adds to his controversial history.
