(LIVE BLOG) WHO ARE THE TRUMP 2.0 NOMINATIONS SO FAR? (UPDATE)

The hot topic of this week are President Trump's nominations for his cabinet. We will update the list and provide more information on his picks, if available. There are generally two types of people: traditional ones and less conventional ones. One pick in particular created a firestorm in the establishment. That of Congressman Matt Gaetz for the post of Attorney General leading the Department of Justice, an office that has been politically prosecuting Donald Trump for the better part of the Biden's tenure. The FBI, a department of the DoJ, has been involved in Operation Crossfire Hurricane (also known as Russiagate) that spied on Trump's first campaign in 2016 and during his first term in office. Matt "Firebrand" Gaetz, has been a loyal supporter of the President, is a sharp and eloquent debater and led the charge in the House that ousted the former Speaker, Kevin McCarthy. Gaetz has also been on the receiving end of lawfare and baseless investigations. Read here what these demons did to Gaetz. 

You will find the latest updates as the first X insert underneath the title and name.
