Donald Trump's filling out his Cabinet - with some unconventional picks in the mix.
The President-elect's selections are raising questions over whether some people are up to the job.
It's thought locking in Trump's defence pick Pete Hesgeth and intelligence pick Tulsi Gabbard - both of Fox News - could prove difficult.
Meanwhile, US correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking Pam Bondi has been put forward for Attorney General – after first pick Matt Gaetz withdrew after a slew of sexual assault accusations.
“This means that if they’re all confirmed, the top 3 officials at the Justice Department will all be people who work for Trump’s legal defence.”
