Matt Gaetz withdraws from attorney general

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., is withdrawing his candidacy to be President-elect Trump's attorney general, after sex trafficking and drug use allegations threatened to imperil his confirmation.

After meeting with Republican senators to discuss his nomination, Gaetz, a conservative firebrand from Florida and a loyal Trump defender, wrote on social media Thursday that "it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition."

Trump's pick to lead the Department of Justice has faced concern and questions from Republicans all week. His decision to bow out puts some of those to rest.



 
While I don't know if he was actually qualified to be a prosecutor, I think he would have done a great job.

Hopefully President Trump has another key spot for him, perhaps one that will illicit less outcry from the F***ing RINO wing of the party.
 
I think Congressman Gaetz met with enough Senators from the right to realize he wasn't right for them. His path would be thru scrutiny, insults, and lead to failure.
He was re-elected to Congress. Therefore, despite resigning, he can just enjoy the Holidays and return to work in Congress come January.

Trump has quite a few "bold" appointments to get thru the Senate. This may make some of them easier to achieve.

A great choice! I thought she would have been chosen in the first place.
And maybe she was.

Perhaps Gaetz was a shot over the bow Trump knew would shake up the Washington's elite and expose some of his false friends in the Senate. It most certainly did.

It proves Trump surrounds himself with winners. Including the women.
So much for Bob Cuban's comments.
