Trump Names More Cabinet Picks

The president-elect rolled out more cabinet picks Wednesday, choosing Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz for Attorney General. Gaetz has been under investigation by the House Ethics Committee over allegations of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, which he has denied. 

After his nomination, Gaetz resigned from the House. The Ethics Committee Chair, Republican Congressman Michael Guest from Mississippi, said the resignation was a strategic move. "If Matt has resigned and is no longer a member of Congress, the investigation will cease, and no report will be issued at that point," he said. 

Trump also picked former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard to be Director of National Intelligence, while Florida Senator Marco Rubio was officially nominated for Secretary of State.

The president-elect hopes the Senate will fast-track his nominees by the time he takes office January 20th.
