Trump nominates Gaetz for attorney general and Gabbard for intelligence director

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Rep. Matt Gaetz for attorney general and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence. Both nominees have limited experience in their roles and are controversial figures. Gaetz's nomination is particularly notable as he was previously under investigation for possible sex trafficking, which ended without charges. His selection is seen as a test of loyalty for Senate Republicans, who hold a slim majority. Gabbard, who has no formal intelligence experience, is known for her isolationist views. Her appointment raises concerns among critics about national security. Senate Republicans face pressure to confirm these nominations or risk allowing Trump to make recess appointments.
