Trump faces scrutiny over new nominees as misconduct allegations surface

Donald Trump has appointed loyalists to key positions in his administration, despite some facing misconduct allegations. His choice for attorney general, Matt Gaetz, withdrew amid concerns over his qualifications and accusations of sexual misconduct. Trump has nominated Pam Bondi as Gaetz's replacement. The next nominee, Pete Hegseth for Pentagon chief, is also under scrutiny due to a sexual assault allegation, which he denies. Republicans are currently supporting Hegseth, indicating a potential shift in how they evaluate Trump's nominees. Trump's administration is marked by a lack of traditional vetting processes. Other nominees, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Linda McMahon, also face serious allegations, raising questions about the party's willingness to overlook past misconduct.
