Donald Trump, the newly elected president of the United States.
Trump Cabinet: After registering a historic victory in the US presidential election, Donald Trump is set to assume power again from January 20. Even before this, he has almost finalized the big names to be included in his cabinet. But a huge controversy has already arisen regarding this Trump cabinet list. Many of his Cabinet colleagues face accusations of sexual misconduct. In such a situation, even before taking the oath, Trump’s cabinet is surrounded by accusations of scandal.
Seeing how the opposition is already raising doubts about Trump’s cabinet, it seems that it will not be easy to obtain approval of his cabinet from the United States Congress. Currently, two names included in Trump’s cabinet are facing serious scandal accusations. However, both Trump associates have flatly rejected the accusation.
They are accused
Pete Hegseth, who was named Secretary of Defense in Trump’s Cabinet, and Matt Gaetz, elected Attorney General, face serious allegations of sexual misconduct. In such a situation, there is uncertainty about the nomination of both. This incident has made Donald Trump’s cabinet the most controversial. The allegations reflect the president-elect’s history of abusive behavior toward women. Pete Hegseth’s approach also compounded concerns about his inexperience and extremist views. California police had investigated sexual assault allegations against him in 2017. At the same time, Matt Getz has faced serious accusations of having sexual relations with a minor under 17 years of age.
uproar over revelations
There has been an uproar following such revelations against Trump’s Cabinet colleagues. Trump’s newly appointed chief of staff, Susie Wills, reportedly spoke with Hegseth. At the same time, newly elected President Trump’s personal lawyers also discussed this matter with Fox News host and Army veteran Hegseth, 44. She has also become a controversial figure in the past by speaking out against women serving in military combat roles. Controversy is also mounting around Matt Gatz. He was named Florida Attorney General despite facing a two-year Justice Department investigation into sex trafficking allegations. They also included the accusation that he had sexual relations with a 17-year-old girl.
Gaetz’s problems may increase due to witness claim
On Friday, an attorney for two women who testified in the House Ethics Committee’s investigation into Gaetz said one of his clients had told the panel that she had seen Gaetz have sex with a minor, according to reports . Republican and Democratic senators on Friday pushed to see the committee’s report into Gaetz’s conduct, which was launched even though a criminal investigation ended without charges. Gaetz resigned from the House on Wednesday shortly after Trump announced his nomination, blocking Friday’s scheduled release of the report, the contents of which were expected to be damaging to him. House Speaker Mike Johnson also said he would “strongly urge” that the report not be released.
The investigation began in 2021.
The investigation was originally launched in 2021 into whether the representative “may have engaged in sexual misconduct or illegal drug use, shared inappropriate images or videos in the House, misused state identification records, campaigned. “Could Gaetz be diverted for personal use or accept bribes, misuse?” unacceptable gratuities or gifts that violate House rules, laws or other rules of conduct? She has bitter complaints against him for suppressing criminal investigations into her conduct during his first presidency. Hegseth has also been elected with a view to purifying the military, in which he alleged obstruction by a “woke leadership.”
controversy over research
This followed separate reports that standard FBI background checks on some of Trump’s most controversial nominees, designed to uncover past criminal activity and other potentially disqualifying liabilities, were dropped. Questions about the sexual behavior of Trump nominees echo Trump’s own past. The president-elect was ordered last year to pay $83 million in damages to author E. Jean Carroll after a New York jury found him liable for sexual harassment and defamation in a civil lawsuit. Carroll alleged that Trump raped her in 1996, which Trump denied. His bid in the 2016 presidential election was derailed after the Access Hollywood tape from nearly a decade earlier surfaced in which he claimed to use his celebrity status to grab women’s genitals.
Trump’s health department secretary also accused
Trump has selected Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. He is also concerned about sexual accusations. A former nanny of his children alleged that Kennedy had sexually abused her in his home in 1998. Kennedy responded to the allegation, recounted again in Vanity Fair, by saying, “I’m not a church boy.” Thus, many faces of Trump’s cabinet have been implicated in accusations of sexual misconduct.
