Trump's cabinet nominees face scrutiny over misconduct allegations and controversies

Several of President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet nominees are facing serious scrutiny. Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth denies a sexual assault allegation from 2017. Attorney General nominee Matt Gaetz resigned from Congress amid misconduct allegations, halting a related ethics report. Hegseth's past includes being flagged for a tattoo linked to extremist groups, which he denies. Gaetz faces allegations of sexual misconduct and drug use, but the Justice Department previously declined to charge him. Health Secretary nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is criticized for his vaccine skepticism, impacting shares in healthcare companies. Trump has not publicly addressed the controversies surrounding his nominees as he continues to fill his administration.
