Several cabinet nominees of US President-elect Donald Trump are under scrutiny for allegations of misconduct. Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth denies a 2017 sexual assault claim and faces criticism over alleged ties to extremist groups. Attorney General pick Matt Gaetz resigned from Congress amid sexual misconduct and ethics allegations. Health Secretary nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s vaccine skepticism has sparked backlash, with health experts calling him unsuitable. While Trump seeks Senate confirmation for his nominees, bipartisan hearings are expected to intensify. Vice President-elect JD Vance defended Hegseth, accusing critics of anti-Christian bigotry. Trump has yet to address the controversies.
