A number of President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet-level nominees have been accused of sexual harassment and assault, and one has faced allegations of child sex trafficking.
Credible allegations of impropriety -- let alone allegations of misconduct or assault -- have often been cause for withdrawal or disqualification.
But Trump -- who has faced dozens of accusations of sexual misconduct dating back to the 1970s -- has been known to surround himself with men who have also faced similar allegations.
The President-elect typically denies the legitimacy of accusations related to sexual misconduct and defends the men in his orbit.
In 2018, in response to sexual assault allegations against people in his own administration, Trump tweeted:
"Peoples' lives are being shattered and destroyed by a mere allegation. Some are true and some are false. Some are old and some are new. There is no recovery for someone falsely accused -- life and career are gone. Is there no such thing any longer as due process?"
