Several of President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees are under scrutiny, with allegations ranging from sexual misconduct to ethical violations.
- Pete Hegseth, Trump’s pick for defense secretary, denies a 2017 sexual assault allegation and allegations linking his tattoo to extremist groups.
- Matt Gaetz, the attorney general nominee, faces ethics concerns, including allegations of sexual misconduct and campaign fund misuse, though prior investigations declined to press charges.
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nominated as health secretary, is facing backlash for his vaccine skepticism.
The nominees will undergo intense Senate hearings in January, despite Republican control of the chamber.
