Three of President-elect Donald Trump's top Cabinet picks are facing serious sexual misconduct allegations, complicating their confirmation as Republican senators assess their qualifications for key government roles.
Trump's nominee for attorney general, former Rep. Matt Gaetz, is accused of having sex with a 17-year-old and paying two women for sex at a Florida party, where prostitution is illegal. His pick for defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, has been accused of sexual assault, while his choice for health and human services secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was accused of groping a former family babysitter earlier this year.
