Trump's nominees for key positions face sexual misconduct allegations

Four men nominated by President-elect Donald Trump for key government positions face sexual misconduct allegations. The nominees include Matt Gaetz, Pete Hegseth, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Elon Musk, reflecting a shift in the administration's stance on such issues. Gaetz, Hegseth, and Musk have denied the allegations against them. Gaetz is accused of having a sexual relationship with a minor, while Hegseth settled a sexual assault investigation confidentially. Musk faces a lawsuit from former employees alleging a hostile work environment. Kennedy acknowledged past inappropriate behavior but does not recall specific incidents. Trump himself has faced multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, including a civil liability ruling in 2023. The Senate will decide on the nominees' confirmations.
