A quick skim of the voluminous material shows an enormous number of serious red flags for people who were nonetheless nominated and confirmed into office. Per Axios: "The massive trove, and the story behind it, sheds light on the slap-dash way ... Trump filled his cabinet and administration, and foreshadowed future scandals that beset his government."
The documents were all given to Trump himself, with the red flags highlighted at the beginning. Given his famous laziness about not reading necessary material, one has to wonder if he did anything more than glance at them.
Given Trump's notorious habit of ignoring advice and elevating his own instincts, he may well have thought the red flags didn't matter. If he picked someone then that was all that mattered, red flags and warnings be damned.
That may be well and good when you're running a bankruptcy-prone minor real estate development company, but it certainly isn't acceptable when running the American government. But then again, ineptitude is Trump's trademark style, and anyone who believed he was some kind of management genius was sadly duped by a conman.
