Trump’s joint chiefs nominee says he never wore a MAGA hat

President Trump nominated Gen. Dan Caine to be chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Trump repeatedly claimed Caine showed political support by wearing a 'Make America Great Again' hat.
Caine denied wearing any political merchandise and affirmed his commitment to being apolitical.
Caine stated, "For 34 years, I've upheld my oath of office and my commitment to my commission, and I have never worn any political merchandise."
Caine's nomination faces scrutiny due to Trump's claim and because he lacks certain qualifications.
