President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet nominations, including Matt Gaetz for attorney general, are facing strong opposition from lawmakers. Concerns have been raised about Gaetz's qualifications and past investigations, with some lawmakers questioning his ability to lead the Department of Justice. Senators from both parties have expressed doubts about Gaetz's nomination, citing potential chaos within the department. Gaetz has been under investigation for alleged misconduct but has denied any wrongdoing. Some lawmakers are urging the release of findings from a House Ethics Committee investigation. In addition to Gaetz, Trump has nominated former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence. Analysts suggest Trump's choices prioritize loyalty over experience, complicating Gaetz's path to Senate confirmation.
