Trump supports controversial Cabinet nominees despite new allegations and meets with MSNBC hosts

President-elect Donald Trump is maintaining his support for controversial Cabinet nominees, including Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth, despite new allegations against them. Trump aims to disrupt the departments they would lead, regardless of their past controversies. Recent reports have complicated the nominations, particularly for Hegseth, who faces accusations of sexual misconduct. Gaetz is also under scrutiny for allegations related to payments for sex, which some believe could hinder his nomination for attorney general. In a separate development, Trump met with MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski for the first time in years. They discussed various issues and agreed to restart communication, despite their previous criticisms of him.
