Trump's Cabinet and staff selections face scrutiny and uncertainty
President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet and senior staff selections are facing scrutiny and mixed reactions. Notably, his choice for attorney general, Matt Gaetz, is under investigation for misconduct, raising concerns from both parties. Trump's pick for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, is also controversial due to a public investigation into sexual assault allegations. Additionally, Tulsi Gabbard's nomination for director of national intelligence has been criticized for her lack of relevant experience. The Trump team has not completed necessary paperwork for security clearances, which could complicate the vetting process. Concerns have been raised about potentially using a private firm for background checks instead of the FBI.
