Trump Nominates Controversial Allies Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard for Key Positions
Former President Donald Trump has stunned Washington with his nominations of Matt Gaetz for Attorney General and Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence. Gaetz, a loyal Trump supporter facing investigations for alleged misconduct, lacks significant legal experience. Gabbard, a former Democrat known for her controversial views, has previously disseminated Russian propaganda. Both nominations spark skepticism even within Trump’s party, with GOP leaders expressing concerns over their suitability. The Senate must approve their appointments, setting the stage for a contentious confirmation process amid ongoing party divisions.
