Three divisive nominees from President Trump, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, are set for Senate confirmation hearings amid intense scrutiny. Kav Patel, known for his criticism of the F.B.I. and his role during the January 6 Capitol riot, faces potential backlash due to his conspiracy beliefs and loyalty to Trump. Tulsi Gabbard, having switched from Democrat to supporting Trump, is nominated to lead intelligence agencies. Their hearings will hinge on critical votes from a few Republican senators, reflecting the current polarized political climate.
Kash Patel, Mr. Trump's F.B.I. pick, has promised to reshape the bureau by firing its top officials, raising concerns about his influence on justice and accountability.
Tulsi Gabbard has been nominated to head U.S. intelligence agencies, reflecting her shift from Democratic values to alignment with Trump's policies and promises.
