The sex scandals of the incoming Trump Cabinet

Four of the 14 people Donald Trump has nominated for top roles in his administration have faced sex scandals, including three who have faced allegations of sexual abuse, according to a Daily Kos review. (The list of 14 nominees includes only those requiring Senate confirmation.)

Vanity Fair and The New York Times reported that Pete Hegseth, Trump’s nominee for secretary of defense, was accused of sexual assault in 2017 following an encounter he had in Monterey, California. Hegseth and his second wife were divorced the same year the assault allegation was made, CBS News reported.

The allegation, which was made to Monterey police, was unknown to Trump’s incoming chief of staff, Susie Wiles, ahead of the nomination, Vanity Fair reported. It’s yet another failure of her tenure less than a week since Trump chose her for the role.
