Trump's cabinet nominations for Gaetz and Hegseth face scrutiny over misconduct allegations

Donald Trump’s cabinet nominations for Matt Gaetz as attorney general and Pete Hegseth as defense secretary are facing serious allegations. Gaetz is accused of sexual misconduct involving a minor, which he denies. An investigation was dropped after his resignation from the House. Hegseth is also under scrutiny due to a newly surfaced sexual assault allegation. His team stated he has denied all accusations, and no charges have been filed. The transition team is reportedly surprised by these developments. In other announcements, Trump named Karoline Leavitt as White House press secretary and Doug Burgum to lead the Interior Department and chair the National Energy Council.
