Incoming: Trump Cabinet Picks Dogged by Accusations and Controversy
Jen Psaki breaks down Donald Trump's choice of partial loyalists to fill his cabinet and how their lack of experience could impact our everyday lives. Senator-Elect Elissa Slotkin joins Jen to discuss the concerns about Trump's nominees, and the issues in their background that might reveal their true character. Next, Jen is joined by Andrew Weissmann to discuss the importance of transparency in the confirmation process in light of Speaker Mike Johnson's push to suppress a House Ethics Committee report on alleged sexual misconduct by Matt Gaetz, Trump's pick to lead the DOJ. Later, Jen is joined by former CIA Director John Brennan to discuss Trump's nomination of former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard to be the Director of National Intelligence and why her questionable pro-Russian comments raise serious concerns for national security. Former HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius also joins Jen to react to Trump's nomination of anti-vaxxer Robert F.
