Trump nominates RFK Jr. for health secretary at Mar-a-Lago event

Donald Trump nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Secretary of Health and Human Services during an event at Mar-a-Lago. Trump praised Kennedy, joking about his popularity and referencing Kennedy's previous independent presidential campaign. Kennedy's nomination may surprise some Trump staffers, as many had previously ruled him out for the position. Concerns have also been raised about Kennedy's ability to obtain the necessary security clearance. In addition to Kennedy, Trump announced other controversial Cabinet nominees, including Pete Hegseth for defense secretary and Matt Gaetz for attorney general. Trump also appointed three personal lawyers to key roles in the Justice Department.
