Trump's Cabinet picks face sexual misconduct allegations as Gaetz withdraws from attorney general consideration

Former congressman Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from consideration for attorney general amid sexual misconduct allegations. President-elect Donald Trump has nominated several Cabinet members who also face similar accusations, raising concerns about their suitability for high-ranking positions. Trump was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation against E. Jean Carroll, while other nominees, including Pete Hegseth and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., have faced serious allegations of sexual misconduct. All individuals involved have denied the claims against them. Linda McMahon is facing a lawsuit alleging she enabled child sexual exploitation during her time at WWE. Elon Musk, nominated to lead a new department, was accused of sexual misconduct by a former flight attendant, which he denied.
