CandleFocus Trump Cabinet picks face tough questions
2025-01-31
Author: Content Editor
The confirmation process for President Trump's Cabinet nominees has begun in the Senate. RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel faced questioning regarding their positions as health secretary, director of national intelligence, and FBI director, respectively. RFK Jr.'s hearings focused on his controversial views on vaccinations, while Gabbard faced criticism from both Democrats and Republicans for refusing to denounce Edward Snowden. Patel received more outward support from Republicans but faced opposition from Democrats due to his past comments. Howard Lutnick, vying for commerce secretary, confirmed his firm's ties to cryptocurrency company Tether, addressing concerns about the stablecoin's reserves and illicit transactions. Confirmation hearings will be followed by discussions on debanking in the Banking Committee and a hearing on Operation Choke Point 2.0 in the House.
