Moments after the House Ethics Committee began to meet behind closed doors to discuss what is reportedly a very damaging sex and drugs report about ex-Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who Donald Trump has tabbed as his next attorney general, the president-elect jumped on his Truth Social platform to rage about his nominees being scrutinized.

With Gaetz the most imperiled and proposed Defense Department secretary Pete Hegseth also dealing with fallout over paying a woman off after she accused him of sexual assault seven years ago in California, Trump complained that his critics are trying to "dirty" up his more controversial cabinet selections.

On Truth Social he wrote, "This is what the Radical Left Lunatics do to people. They dirty them up, they destroy them, and then they spit them out. They are trying that right now with some great American Patriots who are only trying to fix the mess that the Democrats have made of our Country."

"WE WILL WIN!!! MAGA," he added.
