Matt Gaetz Withdraws Attorney General Nomination, Citing Distraction to Trump/Vance Transition
Nov 21, 2024, 05:29 PM
Former Representative Matt Gaetz has withdrawn his name from consideration for the position of Attorney General in President-elect Donald Trump's administration. Gaetz announced his decision after meeting with senators, stating that his confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance transition team. 'I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday. I appreciate their thoughtful feedback and the incredible support of so many Americans,' Gaetz said. He emphasized the importance of having 'Trump's DOJ in place and ready on Day 1' and added, 'There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle.' Gaetz remains fully committed to ensuring that Donald J. Trump becomes 'the most successful President in history.'
