Trump's nominees face scrutiny as Republicans weigh misconduct allegations

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed loyalists to key positions in his administration, despite some facing allegations of misconduct. His choice for attorney general, Matt Gaetz, withdrew amid concerns over his qualifications and accusations of sexual misconduct. Trump's next nominee, Pete Hegseth for Pentagon chief, is also under scrutiny due to a sexual assault allegation. Republicans are currently supporting Hegseth, but the situation raises questions about the party's willingness to overlook past controversies in future nominations. Other nominees, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Linda McMahon, face their own challenges related to misconduct allegations. The dynamics of Trump's administration may shift as lawmakers evaluate each nominee individually, following Gaetz's withdrawal.
