Takeaways from the second day of Trump Cabinet confirmation hearings

Donald Trump's Cabinet nominees for key roles in the intelligence, foreign policy and law enforcement agencies all pledged to keep politics out of their offices amid concerns from Democrats that the president-elect will carry out his vows to go after his political enemies once in office.
The second day of Donald Trump's cabinet confirmation hearings focused on several key figures and their potential roles in the administration. Education Secretary nominee Betsy DeVos faced scrutiny over her lack of direct experience in public education and her support for charter schools, with concerns raised about her understanding of federal education laws and policies. Senator Jeff Sessions, nominated for Attorney General, was questioned extensively on his past statements regarding civil rights, immigration, and his relationship with Trump, with particular attention to his views on racial justice and potential conflicts of interest. Elaine Chao, Trump's pick for Transportation Secretary, encountered relatively smoother sailing, with her extensive government experience and previous role as Labor Secretary under George W. Bush being highlighted. Lastly, General James Mattis, nominated for Defense Secretary, was praised for his military expertise but faced questions about civilian control of the military and his views on critical issues like Iran and NATO. The hearings underscored the diverse backgrounds and controversial aspects of Trump's cabinet picks, reflecting the contentious nature of the transition period.
