President-elect Trump’s Cabinet picks are skating through their confirmation process without filing as much background information as previous appointees, according to Secretary of State John Kerry.

“I’m stepping beyond my bailiwick, but it’s quite amazing to me when I think of the hoops I had to jump through with respect to papers submitted and documentation and tax returns and a whole bunch of things,” the outgoing secretary of state said Tuesday at the United States Institute of Peace. “Suddenly, that’s gone ‘poof’ and it’s not as important.”
