Trump's nominees face sexual misconduct allegations complicating confirmations

Four nominees from Donald Trump's incoming administration have faced sexual misconduct allegations, complicating their confirmations. This marks a shift in American politics, where such accusations once ended careers. Trump's nominee for Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, has been linked to a 2017 sexual assault investigation. Matt Gaetz, nominated as Attorney General, is under investigation for sexual misconduct and drug use. Elon Musk faces a lawsuit alleging a toxic workplace culture at his aerospace company. These nominations highlight a change in political norms, as Trump continues to appoint individuals with serious allegations against them. Critics argue this could discourage women from reporting sexual harassment and abuse.
