Rep. Jim Himes joins Morning Joe to discuss Trump’s latest cabinet picks, calling Matt Gaetz "the most dangerous AG nomination in 250 years" and warning Tulsi Gabbard poses a "national security risk."

WASHINGTON—Senate Republicans warned that attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz would struggle to win the support needed for confirmation and said the close ally of President-elect Donald Trump would face intense scrutiny over sexual-misconduct allegations if he continued to seek the post.

Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) called Thursday for the House Ethics Committee to release the results of its investigation into former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz’s conduct ahead of Senate considerations of President-elect Donald Trump’s planned nomination of Gaetz as attorney general.

The Florida representative just resigned from Congress—killing a House Ethics investigation on his alleged sexual misconduct and illicit drug use.

The Florida Republican’s departure effectively ends the House Ethics Committee’s investigation of allegations that include sexual misconduct and illicit drug use.
