Details
Donald Trump and his allies believe the FBI system is slow and suffering from problems that could derail the president-elect’s plan to quickly get to work implementing his plans.
Critics argue that intrusive background checks sometimes reveal mass information that is used for political damage.
The newspaper notes that the discussions began after Trump nominated several controversial candidates, including Matt Goetz for attorney general and Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence. In addition, questions arose about the nominee for the post of the head of the Pentagon, Pete Hagseth.
For reference
Protocol and background checks to screen out unreliable and sometimes hostile personnel in the US government have existed since World War II. They are implemented to ensure that the selected candidates do not have unknown outside connections or other problems that could threaten national security interests.
We will remind
Newly elected US President Donald Trump is gradually starting to form his team. In particular, on November 15, he appointed 27-year-old Caroline Leavitt as the new press secretary of the White House. She became the youngest in history to hold this position.
