Republican senators signaled Thursday that they plan to closely scrutinize allegations of wrongdoing dogging Trump’s pick to lead the Justice Department.

Republican Sen. John Cornyn is calling for more information on Gaetz, saying it could help "protect the president."

Tulsi Gabbard - a former Democratic congresswoman who joined the Republican Party to back Donald Trump - is the president-elect's pick for director of national intelligence. The wide-ranging role would mean she oversees US intelligence agencies like the CIA, FBI and the National Security Agency (NSA), which focuses on intelligence gathering.

Gabbard was named Wednesday by President-elect Donald Trump as his pick for director of national intelligence.
