Washington Week with The Atlantic

What's behind Trump's controversial Cabinet choices

Season 2024 Episode 46 | 19m 55s

Donald Trump names a vaccine denier to head the Health and Human Services Department. For attorney general, he picks a person who most likely wouldn’t be able to pass an FBI background check and he has nominated an apologist for Putin as director of national intelligence. The panel discusses Trump’s controversial Cabinet choices.
