Trump faces scrutiny over new nominees after Gaetz withdrawal

Former President Donald Trump has named several loyalists for key administration roles, despite some facing serious allegations. His initial pick for attorney general, Rep. Matt Gaetz, withdrew amid concerns over his qualifications and misconduct allegations. Trump has since chosen Pam Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, as Gaetz's replacement. The situation raises questions about whether other nominees, like Pete Hegseth for Pentagon chief, will face similar scrutiny from Republicans. Hegseth is under investigation for a 2017 sexual assault allegation, which he denies. Other nominees, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Linda McMahon, also face controversies that could complicate their confirmations.
