 2/ **Trump named Fox News Host Pete Hegseth his choice for secretary of defense and John Ratcliffe to lead the CIA**. Trump also tapped Tulsi Gabbard to serve as the director of national intelligence. Gabbard has been accused of spreading "actual Russian propaganda," being a "Russian asset," and condemned as a "traitor" by both [Republicans](https://www.salon.com/2022/03/16/conservatives-pile-on-as-tulsi-gabbard-named-as-most-influential-spreader-of-disinformation/) and [Democrats](https://www.newsweek.com/tulsi-gabbard-bio-labs-ukraine-russia-conspiracy-1687594). Hegseth, a co-host of “Fox & Friends," is a veteran of the Army National Guard, where he did tours of duty in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay as an infantry officer. He’s called the U.S. the military ineffective, “woke,” mused about firing the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and said allowing women to serve in combat has made the military less lethal. If confirmed by the Senate, Hegseth would take over the federal government’s biggest department, an $850 billion budget and a workforce of nearly three million civilian workers and military service members despite having never held a senior government post.
