President-elect Donald Trump has announced several cabinet picks, starting with Susie Wiles as Chief of Staff and Marco Rubio as Secretary of State. However, his later choices have raised eyebrows, including Matt Gaetz for Attorney General and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Health and Human Services Secretary. Gaetz, who recently resigned from Congress amid a Department of Justice investigation, faces skepticism about his confirmation due to past allegations. His nomination comes as he seeks to avoid a potentially damaging House Ethics Committee report. Kennedy, known for his controversial views on vaccines, will lead the Health and Human Services Department. The unusual selections reflect Trump's pattern of appointing unconventional figures to key positions.
