Trump Nominates Rep. Matt Gaetz, Previously Investigated by DOJ, as Attorney General
Nov 13, 2024, 09:14 PM
President-elect Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he will nominate Florida Representative Matt Gaetz to serve as Attorney General in his incoming administration. Gaetz, a loyal congressional ally and staunch conservative, has been a vocal critic of the Justice Department even as he was investigated by it for alleged involvement in a sex trafficking case. His nomination has sparked reactions among Republicans and Democrats alike, with some Republicans reportedly 'stunned and disgusted,' and one GOP colleague stating that Gaetz would be 'compromised' and that 'there are better choices.' If confirmed, Gaetz would be replaced by a special election in his district. As Attorney General, he would be tasked with reshaping U.S. law enforcement and carrying out Trump's agenda on immigration, crime, and other hot-button social issues.
