Trump’s Controversial Cabinet and Transition of Power:
President-elect Donald Trump’s new administration is taking shape after announcing this week a series of controversial cabinet picks, including Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz for attorney general, Tulsi Gabbard as the director of National Intelligence and Fox News host Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary.
Trump also made his first visit to the Oval Office since 2021, meeting with President Joe Biden as part of the transition process – a tradition he broke four years ago.
