Trump nominates Gaetz and Hegseth for key cabinet positions with agency grievances

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Matt Gaetz as attorney general and Pete Hegseth as defense secretary. Both nominees are known for their strong criticism of the agencies they would lead and have a history of feeling wronged by them. Gaetz, who resigned from Congress after his nomination, faced a federal investigation but was not charged. Hegseth, a former military member, claims he was sidelined due to his tattoos, which he says do not represent white supremacy. If confirmed, Gaetz and Hegseth are expected to pursue significant changes within their departments, aligning with Trump's agenda. Their nominations may test Trump's relationship with the Republican-controlled Senate and could lead to a more aggressive approach to governance.
