  • Republicans senators returned to Washington after Thanksgiving recess to a renewed peppering of questions about President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet picks.

The article from MSN discusses the internal conflict among Republican senators regarding the FBI background checks for former President Donald Trump's cabinet picks.

This division highlights a broader tension within the party between those who wish to uphold traditional vetting procedures and those who prioritize loyalty to Trump and swift governmental transitions. The debate also touches on the implications of these checks in light of past controversies involving Trump's appointees.
