During a series of confirmation hearings for key roles in intelligence, foreign policy, and law enforcement agencies, Donald Trump's Cabinet nominees pledged to maintain a non-political environment within their offices. This commitment comes amidst concerns from Democrats about potential political targeting by the incoming administration.
The confirmation hearings commenced with a contentious session for defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth, but subsequent hearings took on a more conciliatory tone. Senators focused their inquiries on the conduct of the president-elect rather than the nominees themselves.
