Donald Trump's many supporters already had reason to worry. But just a few weeks before his inauguration, it is now the turn of the future Trump government to scare people. And there is reason, if we are to believe the revelations of Paris Match.
The billionaire indeed seems to want to place men who find themselves in key positions the target of sordid accusations. Between accusations of sexual assault and reprehensible sexual behavior, three of Donald Trump's future ministers are causing concern, whether in the United States or internationally.
“I’m not an altar boy.”
Indeed, Robert F. Kennedy Jr is accused of sexual assault by his children's ex-babysitter. According to an article published in July by Vanity FairEliza Cooney, a young woman aged 23 at the time of the events, claimed to have been a victim of the future Minister of Health. At the time, the young woman had to watch the children of the Kennedy family. However, she explained that she had suffered inappropriate actions by mentioning caresses under the table that Robert F. Kennedy Jr would have given her during a dinner. Another day, the man appeared shirtless in front of her and asked her to apply lotion to him.
Faced with these accusations, the politician apologized by message, expressing regret while mentioning amnesia. “I have no memory of this incidentbut I sincerely apologize for anything I did that made you uncomfortable or for anything I did or said that offended or hurt you“, he allegedly wrote to her. Shortly after the article was published, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was interviewed in a podcast and simply replied: “I'm not an altar boy“.
The future Minister of Health is not the only one concerned by this type of accusations
But if the affair of Robert F. Kennedy Jr is enough to make one shudder with fear, he is not the only future minister in the Trump administration to be the target of this type of accusations. Indeed, Pete Hegseth, tipped to become Secretary of Defense,
is accused of sexual assault by a woman with whom he allegedly slept in 2017 and with whom he allegedly made sign a confidentiality agreement. An investigation was opened, but the police did not follow up. For his part, Pete Hegseth assured that the report was consensual.
And finally Matt Gaetz, third future Trump minister in turmoil. The former representative of Florida, tipped for the post of Minister of Justice, is accused of having sexual relations with a 17-year-old minoras well as paying two other women for sex. The FBI opened an investigation into these facts in 2020, but no prosecution was initiated. If Matt Gaetz denies the charges against him, one question remains: how is it possible not to take such facts into account?
