Another Trump Cabinet Pick Is in Trouble
The Trump administration is facing more scrutiny as another Cabinet pick comes under fire. This time, it is Scott Pruitt, the nominee for Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Pruitt has been criticized for his close ties to the fossil fuel industry and his past efforts to dismantle environmental regulations.
Pruitt’s nomination has raised concerns among environmental groups and Democrats, who argue that he is not qualified to lead the EPA. They point to his lack of experience in environmental protection and his history of opposing environmental regulations.
The White House has defended Pruitt’s nomination, saying he is a “strong leader” who will “protect the environment.” However, it remains to be seen whether Pruitt will be able to overcome the opposition to his nomination.
Biden should order background checks of Trump’s Cabinet picks
President-elect Biden should order background checks on every potential Cabinet member proposed by former President Trump to weed out any unqualified or dangerous picks. This is especially important in light of Trump’s history of appointing controversial and unqualified individuals to high-level positions.
A thorough background check would include a review of the individual’s criminal history, financial records, and any potential conflicts of interest. It would also include a review of the individual’s experience and qualifications for the position they are being considered for.
By ordering background checks on Trump’s Cabinet picks, Biden would be taking a prudent step to ensure that only the most qualified and ethical individuals are appointed to positions of power.
