Trump faces hurdles in staffing his administration as attorney general nominee withdraws

Donald Trump has faced challenges in staffing his new administration, particularly with his choice for attorney general, Matt Gaetz, who withdrew amid allegations of sexual misconduct. Gaetz's lack of support from lawmakers highlighted difficulties in confirming Trump's nominees. Trump has since nominated Pam Bondi as Gaetz's replacement. The situation raises questions about whether other nominees, like Pete Hegseth for the Pentagon, will face similar scrutiny, especially given Hegseth's own allegations of sexual assault. Despite controversies, some Republicans continue to support Trump's choices, suggesting that nominees will be evaluated individually. However, concerns remain about the implications of past misconduct on future confirmations.
