All of Trump’s nominees must face questioning in Senate confirmation hearings

It’s not a shock that President-elect Donald Trump wants to place his cabinet nominees into office without Senate confirmation hearings.

Otherwise, former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), nominated to be attorney general, will have to explain why he is qualified to be the nation’s top law enforcement official when his legal experience consists of a brief stint as a junior lawyer in a small Florida law firm. Questions will come up about allegations that he engaged in sex trafficking involving a minor.
